Couple charged with armed robbery

Henderson County sheriff’s deputies charged a 20-year-old Mills River man and a 34-year-old Hendersonville woman after an armed robbery at a home in the Flat Rock area.

Deputies were dispatched to Pardee Hospital after a patient reported being a victim of an armed robbery earlier in the morning, the sheriff's office said. The victim, from the Flat Rock area, was released from the hospital with no visible signs of injury after being treated by medical personnel. The victim told deputies a known acquaintance brandished a firearm and stole cash as well as weapons from the residence.  

After further investigation on Friday, detectives charged Dakota Cruz Bass, of Banner Farm Road, in Mills River, and Georgie Ann Mendoza, of Somerset Street, Hendersonville, with three felony counts each of Conspiracy to Commit Armed Robbery, Larceny of a Firearm, and Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon.  Both Bass and Mendoza were jailed under a $108,000 bond.
