Sheeler
A Michigan City woman and man have been arrested and charged with the Feb. 23, 2014, robbery of The Dunes Inn in Michigan City.
Sharp
Angela Sheeler, 31, and Demarcus Sharp, 25, were arrested after video surveillance photos were released to area media just hours after the robbery and residents phoned in tips to the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan City Police.
Sheeler is charged with robbery, a Class B felony, and Sharp is charged with aiding, inducing or causing robbery, a Class B felony. Both were being held in LaPorte County Jail on $25,000 bond and were scheduled to appear in LaPorte County Superior Court 1 in Michigan City.
During the robbery, a woman entered the inn on U.S. 421 at about 11:30 p.m. and asked about room prices, left, then returned about 10 minutes later. She handed the desk clerk a note demanding all the money from the register and indicated there was a man outside with a gun. The clerk gave her about $150 in cash and followed her instructions to get on the floor and count to 200.
Anyone with further information about the robbery is asked to contact LaPorte County Detective Sergeant Andrew Hynek at (219) 879-3530 or (219) 326-7700 ext. 2401.
