Timothy J. Hill, 28, and Nancy A. Eiring, 40, have been charged with aggravated robbery with a firearm, according to the Northwest Herald. And before police took the two to jail, they sent them first to the hospital to make sure they did not overdose on drugs they had ingested.

Both Eiring and Hill are being held at the McHenry County Jail. They are expected in court Monday morning, according to online jail records.
