MARION COUNTY — A 20-year-old Centralia woman has been sentenced to time served after she pleaded guilty Wednesday to a felony charge of theft in exchange for armed robbery charges being dismissed.

Alexis Sanders was arrested in December after Centralia police found evidence indicating she had been in a vehicle used during the December 17 armed robberies of Hunan House Restaurant and Lincoln Liquors, both in Centralia.

In addition to the jail sentence, Sanders must serve 2-years probation, complete drug and alcohol treatment, and pay court costs.

She had been held in the Marion County Jail since her arrest with bail set at $150,000.
According to reports, Sanders was in the vehicle with 18-year-old Dazhai Brumfield, of Ohio, and 37-year-old Ernestine Fields, of Centralia, when the two locations were robbed within a few minutes of each other.
