(Ripley County, Ind.) - A woman accused of robbing a pharmacy in Sunman will be charged federally.

Rosa Zinser is in the Ripley County Jail accused of using a handgun to stick up George’s Pharmacy in Sunman back on May 2. The 58-year-old initially got away with prescriptions, but was arrested within hours that same day at her home in Dearborn County.
