A Lincoln County woman now faces federal charges that she robbed a nursing home and a bank.

A federal grand jury Tuesday returned a six-count indictment against Morgan Marie Mullins, 26. She's accused of robbing the Teays Valley Center Nursing home located in Hurricane.

Police believe Mullins wore a clown mask when she allegedly robbed the nursing home of prescription drugs on May 2, 2012.

The indictment also charges Mullins with robbing the City National Bank in West Hamlin on May 22, 2012. Authorities said she took $3,000 cash and used a 9-mm pistol during the bank robbery.

The indictment also charges Mullins with two counts of being an unlawful drug user in possession of a firearm.

Mullins faces a mandatory minimum of 32 years and up to life in prison and a $1.5 million fine if convicted on all charges.
