A 16-year-old girl accused of robbing a bank Monday was in court Tuesday morning.

Prosecutors said the teen passed a note stating she had a gun to a teller at the PNC Bank on Paxton Avenue just before noon.

The girl was captured less than an hour later after deputies tracked a GPS device in the stolen money to Kenwood Towne Center.

In court Tuesday, the girl and her mother cried as prosecutors laid out the charges.

The girl's attorney asked for his client's release so she could stay in school, but the judge pointed out the girl skipped school to rob the bank.

Prosecutors said the girl had pleaded guilty to theft on April 1 in exchange for the dropping of a drug charge and an unlawful use of a vehicle charge.

Prosecutors asked to move the case to adult court, and a hearing will take place on that request next month.

In the meantime, the girl will remain in juvenile detention, the judge said.
