A Virginia woman who came to be known as the “Blond Bandit” pleaded guilty to a series of bank robberies and carjackings last year.
Stephanie Schwab, 26, of Manassas, admitted to a pair of bank robberies in November that netted her a combined $3,200, plus another attempted robbery. She also admitted stealing a car from relatives and taking two others by force.
She also pleaded guilty to a new count of distributing heroin.
Schwab's two-week crime spree came to an end Nov. 30 after a chase on the Capital Beltway through Virginia and Maryland.
Schwab spent time in the Witness Protection Program after testifying at a high-profile murder trial in 2005 involving the MS-13 street gang.
She'll be sentenced July 6 and faces up to 70 years in prison.
