MARQUETTE - Bank robber Kimberly Anne Timbrook-Miller of Iron River is scheduled to be sentenced in November under a plea agreement.
Miller recently pleaded guilty to federal charges related to bank robberies in Kingsford and Wabeno, Wis. She is set for sentencing at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 23 in U.S. District Court in Green Bay, Wis.
She was charged in federal court with two counts of armed bank robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Miller also faced state charges in Iron County for check forgery and uttering and publishing. Those state charges amounted to six felonies.
Under the plea arrangement, Miller pleaded guilty Aug. 25 to robbing the Range Bank in Kingsford of $52,365 on Feb. 17 and the Wisconsin firearms charge related to the Dec. 11 robbing of the Laona State Bank of $16,797.
In exchange, the Wisconsin armed bank robbery charge will be dismissed at sentencing. However, Miller must make full restitution for the amounts stolen in both robberies.
Based on Miller's agreement to pay full restitution for the Iron County District Court charges, the prosecuting attorney has dismissed the charges in those cases.
The maximum penalties Miller could face for the armed bank robbery charge include up to 25 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, five years of supervised release after prison and $100 special assessment. The judge will render a sentence based on federal guidelines and a pre-sentence report on Miller's background.
In addition, the government has recommended a sentence of seven years on the Wisconsin weapons charge, served after Miller's sentence on the bank robbery charge, according to court documents. She could have faced a maximum sentence of life in prison on that charge.
Miller's Michigan bank robbery case was recently moved to Wisconsin from Marquette after Miller agreed to plead guilty to robbing the Range Bank of with a plastic gun.
The plea agreement said Miller entered the Range Bank dressed in layers of winter clothes to hide her appearance.
"She was carrying a short-barreled revolver that was partially hidden by an article of clothing," court records said. "This revolver was later determined to be a toy gun, which nevertheless qualifies as a dangerous weapon or device under (federal law)."
In the Wisconsin robbery, Miller entered the Laona State Bank with her appearance partially disguised. She displayed a silver handgun with brown tape on the barrel and demanded money, witnessed by bank tellers, court records said.
