CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A twice-convicted bank robber who has been out of prison for only a year has been indicted in connection with another heist.

A federal grand jury in Charleston charged Dreama Moore, 54, of Huntington with bank robbery on Thursday. Her alleged accomplice, Tina Mae Turner, 33, of Huntington, was charged with aiding and abetting.

The women are accused of robbing a BB&T branch in the Kanawha City neighborhood of Charleston on Nov. 13. About $2,100 was taken, according to the indictment.

Moore and Turner were arrested after their vehicle was pulled over on Interstate 64 by police officers who noticed it matched a description given by bank employees.

If convicted, each woman faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Moore was convicted in 1999 of robbing a Bank One branch in Charleston. At the time of that robbery, she was serving probation for a 1997 bank heist in Lewisburg.
