Footville bank robber gets 12 1/2 years
MADISON
Although the judge said Skye Archambault was involved “up to her eyebrows” in the November robbery of a bank in Footville, the judge Tuesday gave the Orfordville resident a relatively light sentence of 2 1/2 years in federal prison for bank robbery.
But because guns were used in the robbery of Mid America Bank on Nov. 9, Archambault also received a consecutive prison term: the federal mandatory minimum 10-year sentence for possessing a firearm “in furtherance of a crime of violence.”
Her total federal prison sentence is 12 1/2 years. Archambault will be supervised for five years on her release and owes $950 restitution to the bank.
As part of a plea agreement, a charge of conspiracy was dropped.
Archambault was the first of six defendants to accept a plea agreement, and she testified in a jury trial against one of her co-defendants.
