GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A woman says she will plead guilty to holding up a pair of Grand Forks banks within two weeks.

Charlene Corona, also known as Charlene Espinoza, is charged in federal court with two counts of bank robbery.

Authorities say the 39-year-old Corona robbed a Bremer Bank on Sept. 30 and the Citizen Community Credit Union on Oct. 12.



Corona faces a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison. The plea agreement filed Monday calls for the government to recommend a sentence on the low end of the guideline range.

A change of plea hearing has not been set.
