A Marietta woman was sentenced to five to 10 years in state prison after she pleaded guilty this week to committing a string of robberies with her husband over the course of a single morning.

Judge Merrill Spahn sentenced Emily Ann Brown, 39, after she pleaded guilty Tuesday to three counts of robbery and three counts of criminal conspiracy to commit robbery.

Brown, along with her husband and co-defendant Michael Brown, committed the robberies at three convenience stores in East Donegal Township, West Hempfield Township and Columbia Borough over the course of about 11 hours the morning of Nov. 26, 2023.

In each case Michael Brown would drive Emily Brown to a store where she would then exit the vehicle and demand money from an employee inside, claiming to have a gun.

Each of the robberies were recorded on surveillance systems inside the stores. Surveillance footage also showed the license plate of the vehicle Michael Brown was driving, which was traced back to their shared residence the 500 block of East Market Street.

Speaking to police, Emily Brown admitted to committing the robberies and said they took the money to purchase crack cocaine. Michael Brown argued with Emily not to commit the robberies but she persuaded him to do so, she said.

Michael Brown pleaded guilty to the same offenses in February 2024 and was also sentenced to five to 10 years in state prison.

Emily Brown declined the opportunity to address the court when given the chance to do so prior to her sentencing.

First Assistant District Attorney Travis S. Anderson prosecuted the case.

Susquehanna Regional Police Officer Michael Kimes filed the charges.
