UMass student Shayna J. Henckel-Miller – a 19-year-old who lives at 36 Hedgerow Lane, Amherst – was arrested yesterday and charged with unarmed robbery stemming from a reported robbery that occurred at the Bank of America on South Pleasant Street late Monday morning, according to a press release issued yesterday by Amherst Police Lt. Ronald Young.

Henckel-Miller, who is currently enrolled as an undeclared continuing education student, was also identified as an accomplice to Monday’s robbery.

Police originally arrested William Oldershaw in connection to an alleged unarmed robbery at the downtown Bank of America branch. According to the release, Henckel-Miller allegedly accompanied Oldershaw to the bank during the robbery, took part in the preparation of the demand letter used and then flew the scene with him.

Oldershaw, who was charged with the same crime, is being held at the Hampshire Country House of Correction rather than meeting the $2,500 bail. Henckel-Miller’s charges, like with Oldershaw, carry a sentence of 12-to-36 months, according to Massachusetts criminal sentencing guidelines.

According to the release, Henckel-Miller is being held at the Eastern Hampshire District Court and had her arraignment scheduled Tuesday afternoon.
