A Lenoir woman charged with driving the getaway car in a Hickory robbery last week could face up to 11 years in prison.

That comment coming from Judge Mark Killian during Catawba County District Court Tuesday.

39-year-old Rebecca Lynn Miller is charged with felony flee to elude arrest with a motor vehicle, felony conspiracy robbery with a dangerous weapon, and resisting a public officer.

According to reports, Miller’s passenger, 35-year-old Bryan O’Neil Jensen of Blowing Rock entered the CVS pharmacy on NC 127 South, displayed a gun, and demanded medication last Friday.

With Miller at the wheel, reports say Jensen made off with nearly 36-thousand dollars worth of oxycotin, oxycodone, amphetamine salts, and morphine.

The pair led officers in a pursuit that ended whenever Miller wrecked inside Cleveland County.

Jensen reportedly fled on foot into a wooded area where officers later discovered him deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Miller was issued a 250-thousand dollar secured bond with her next court date set for February 12th.
