Overview
- Mary Adolphus was arrested in connection with an armed holdup at a PNC Bank in Port St. Lucie in June 2025, according to police.
- At a news conference, Chief Leo Niemczyk said detectives built a timeline that placed her near the bank after visits to two other banks and a Sam’s Club.
- Investigators reviewed body-camera footage from separate traffic stops and noted clothing that matched bank surveillance images, the chief said.
- Police said they worked with the FBI to track her international travel and that an interview later led to a confession.
- A judge set bond at $55,000 and ordered her to surrender her passport, and police said she left state corrections in 2023 after misconduct and cited rent pressure as her motive.
