BOISE A Nevada couple is headed to prison for a very long time for their roles in robbing a Boise bank last fall.
Daniel Parsons of Winnemucca, Nev., was ordered to serve life in prison for aiding and abetting robbery after driving the getaway car for his wife Felicia who robbed the Key Bank on Broadway Avenue in Boise on Oct. 20, 2010.
Fourth District Judge Cheri Copsey also sentenced Felicia Parsons to 38 years in prison. She could be eligible for parole after 18 years. Felicia also admitted robbing another Ada County bank in 2009.
After the Key Bank robbery, the Parsons led police on a high speed chase across county lines that ended when Daniel crashed their sports car into a backyard shed at a home near Nampa.
Prosecutors say Daniel Parsons has a lengthy criminal history that includes three prior armed robberies.
