CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- State police in Quincy have arrested a woman and her husband in connection with a bank robbery in Glasgow Friday afternoon.

Police charged Jennifer Garretson, 37, with armed robbery and Gary Garretson Jr., 39, both of Shrewsbury, with accessory after the fact.

Jennifer Garretson is accused of robbing the City National Bank in Glasgow at about 2 p.m. Friday.

Police say Gary Garretson Jr. helped Jennifer hide the clothes she was wearing during the robbery as well as the money. The man also drove the get-away vehicle, Sergeant Larry O'Bryan, Quincy detachment commander, said.

Jennifer Garretson was arrested Saturday evening at the detachment after she voluntarily came in for an interview with police, O'Bryan said. Police interviewed 10 to 15 different potential female suspects in the case, he said.

"We were able to discount them and they we came about Miss Garretson and were able to clear the case," O'Bryan said. He added there is other evidence against the woman that cannot be disclosed yet.

Police arrested Gary Garretson Sunday morning at his workplace of Catenary Coal, where he is a security guard, O'Bryan said.

The couple remains in South Central Regional Jail.
