A 22-year-old Wichita woman has been sentenced to over 3 years in federal prison for her role in a robbery spree.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Savannah Cole was given a sentence of 40 months after she pleaded guilty to four counts of robbery.  In her plea, she admitted to the following robberies:

  • Dollar General Store, 915 S. Glendale in Wichita, Nov. 22, 2017. Cole admitted she and co-defendant Kenneth W. Cade, 29, Wichita, Kan., went into the store together to rob it. Cade pointed a gun at an employee and demanded money.
  • C-Store, 837 S. Oliver in Wichita, Feb. 7, 2018. Cole admitted she pointed a gun at an employee and demanded money. Cade stayed outside as a lookout.
  • Arby’s, 4308 E. Harry in Wichita, Feb. 14, 2018. Cole and Cade went into the store to rob it. Cade pointed a firearm at an employee and demanded money.
  • Circle K Store, 515 N. Seneca in Wichita, Feb. 14, 2018. Cole and Cade went into the store to rob it. Cole pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money. Cade grabbed the cash.

Her co-defendant Cade was sentenced last month to 12 years in federal prison.  The case was investigated by the FBI and Wichita Police, and prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Matt Treaster as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a U.S. Department of Justice initiative targeting violent crime.
