SAN FRANCISCO — A man and woman who robbed two local banks on the same day have been sentenced to federal prison, records show.

Ashley Crowder, 42, was given two-and-a-half years behind bars, and her co-defendant, Anthony Fardella, 41, was given a five-year sentence, records show. The two used threatening notes to rob a Bank of America and an East West Bank in San Francisco on Nov. 19, 2022, netting a sum total of $2,600.

The defense argued that the robberies were committed during a multi-day drug bender, when the two were impaired from narcotics and lack of sleep. They also raised sympathetic factors about the defendants’ situations, saying Fardella had been homeless on and off throughout his life and that Crowder “has been the victim of abuse in every way imaginable.”

Another woman was involved in the robberies but was not indicted, according to court records.
