As a result, Bernard was charged with robbery and threatening words because he allegedly issued a death threat after he robbed Martinez.

Moreno was separately charged with abetment to commit robbery in connection with this incident. Both accused were arraigned before Magistrate Adolph Lucas, and due to the nature of the charges, Bernard was remanded until December 27.

Moreno was granted bail of $4,000 which she was able to meet. She is also expected to return to court on December 27.
