A Coos County Circuit Court judge gave a Coquille woman a few more days to enter her plea on a first-degree aggravated theft charge, stemming from the looting of a Coquille High School graduation fund.
On Monday, Gwen Sherbondy appeared in Judge Michael Gillespie’s courtroom with Public Defender Ronald Cox for a plea-change hearing. Cox requested a few additional days so that he could coordinate with federal attorney Mark Weintraub, who is defending the 46-year-old on one federal count of bank robbery.
Investigators believe she held up a Roseburg Wells Fargo bank on Feb. 24. Cox said he is hoping for a unified settlement on the federal and state charges.
“We requested more time to do that. We were given until Friday,” Cox said.
Sherbondy is set to appear at 8:30 a.m. that day at the Coos County Courthouse, followed by a Sept. 21 hearing in U.S. District Court in Eugene on the federal charge.
Locally, Sherbondy is accused of stealing about $11,000 from the high school’s class of 2009 Project Graduation fund, which held money for a graduation party.
