Out-of-state trio accused in Oklahoma City bank robbery
Two men and a woman, all three from outside of Oklahoma, have been charged in federal court over a February bank robbery in Oklahoma City.
David John-Matthew Davis, 38, and Paris Kathryn Mace, 29, both of Omaha, Nebraska, along with Christian Deleon Lane, 36 of Dallas, are accused of robbing a MidFirst Bank located at 5800 N Western Ave.
Prosecutors allege that on the morning of Feb. 23, Davis entered the bank, jumped over the main counter, grabbed a teller and pointed a black semi-automatic pistol at the tellers and gave orders for the bank vault to be opened.
Davis left the bank with an unspecified amount of money and jumped into a getaway car driven by Mace, prosecutors allege.
Lane is accused of assisting with arranging the robbery.
Four days later, on Feb. 27, law enforcement arrested Davis in Omaha.
A day after that arrest, authorities arrested Mace in Omaha and Lane in Dallas. On March 2, Davis and Mace appeared for their initial appearances in federal court in Nebraska, authorities said. Both were ordered detained pending further proceedings.
On March 10, Lane appeared for his initial appearance in the Western District of Oklahoma and was ordered to be detained pending further proceedings.
