Alleged Bank Robber Is 4 Feet, 4 Inches Tall

A four-foot, four-inch tall Allentown woman was charged Wednesday’s attempted robbery of a branch on West Bethlehem, according to court records.

Shervon Antoinette Henderson, 21, of 214 N. Hall St., was committed to Lehigh County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail following her arraignment on Thursday night on charges of robbery and terroristic threats.

According to court papers, Henderson walked into the bank at 2356 Catasauqua Road and handed a teller a note that said: “some one strapped a bomb to my leg I have two minutes give me everything you got.”

The teller didn’t give Henderson anything. Henderson responded by saying “Hurry, Hurry,” but the teller still gave her nothing, the arrest warrant says. Henderson then walked out of the bank and west on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Police apprehended Henderson on Thursday afternoon.
