July 23, 2008
Tribune Chronicle | TribToday.com

AKRON (AP) A woman who helped her boyfriend steal more than $8 million from an armored car company will learn her sentence Wednesday.

Nicole Boyd of Youngstown has admitted to stealing the money with Roger Dillon to escape financial hardship. Boyd and Dillon have pleaded guilty to bank larceny and other charges.

Boyd faces a maximum of 25 years in prison but is expected to receive less under federal sentencing guidelines. Boyds attorney is seeking less than four years, noting that his client has no prior criminal record.

Federal prosecutors are asking for a stiff sentence to reflect the seriousness of the crime, which they say is one of the largest thefts ever in northern Ohio.

Dillon will be sentenced Thursday.
