A husband and wife from Wylie have been arrested on suspicion of robbing the Chase Bank on Preston Road in Frisco on Saturday afternoon, Frisco police announced Tuesday.
Frisco police were dispatched at 1:54 p.m. Saturday to the bank at 7680 Preston Road, where employees said they were robbed at gunpoint by a white man with a covering over his face. He left the bank in a silver PT Cruiser with about $5,200 in cash, police say.
A short time later, a Prosper police officer spotted a vehicle matching that description near FM423 and U.S. Highway 380. The officer made a traffic stop near Panther Creek Parkway and FM423. Frisco Police responded and say evidence recovered from the car linked the occupants, Jamison Ross Ellis and Jaime Allyson Altiere-Ellis, to the bank robbery. Both were transported to the Frisco Police Station, where they confessed to robbing the bank, according to police.
Ellis, 39, faces charges of aggravated robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and violation of a protective order. His bail is set at $575,000. Altiere-Ellis, 37, faces a charge of aggravated robbery. Her bail is set at $500,000. Both are being held at the Collin County jail.
