Florida Women Accused Of Using Paintball Gun In Attempted Bank Robbery

Two Florida women were arrested Thursday after police said they attempted to rob a bank with a paintball gun.

Orange City Police said 35-year-old Tiffany Fleming and 41-year-old Tanya Morrison were arrested after trying to rob Region’s Bank in Orange City with a paintball gun. According to police, Fleming acted as the robber and Morrison remained in the lobby as a lookout.

Police said Fleming told the manager she needed money because her husband was a crack addict.

When the manager offered Fleming a $2,000 loan, she flashed the paintball gun and demanded a larger loan. When both Fleming and Morrison walked out of the bank without any money, police surrounded them and placed them under arrest.

A black paintball gun was recovered in Fleming’s purse, police said.

Morrison told Fox 35 she knows Fleming because their sons are friends and believes she was duped by Fleming.

“Asked for a ride, promised gas money, instead ending up in cuffs, embarrassed,” Morrison told Fox 35. “There was no reason to arrest me. I’m getting a restraining order for that woman.”
