A New Iberia woman was charged Thursday in Atlanta with robbing the Capital One bank Wednesday on Admiral Doyle Drive.

Shavon Tardy, 20, was arrested at a bus station by the U.S. Marshals Service. An Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman said the woman was recognized “when her picture was shown by the media after the robbery.”

Authorities said investigators received several tips she fled the area after the robbery on a bus to Atlanta.

The Capital One was robbed Wednesday afternoon after a woman wearing large white sunglasses passed a threatening note to a teller demanding $6,000. No one was injured in the robbery, and authorities said no weapons were used.

The Sheriff’s Office said some of the money was recovered. It was not immediately clear when the woman would be extradited.

" I don't live in your state however, growing up in that location I often brose your newspaper and the comments the possum person made it so ridiculous. It's horrible to think that grown individuals still have the mentality of a sunflower seed. I do agree Obama has nothing to do with the decision this young lady made -- think about it if it was Bush he wouldn't have anything to do. I agree she made the wrong decision and honestly this could happen to anyone. Grow up Louisiana those racisms days are far over. Learn how to love one another. "

" This is to answer the last comment-no its not right what she did- but judging people to the point of calling them criminals and belittling them is wrong- who made you PERFECT- Noone knows what they will do when they are in NEED- unfortunately her choice was wrong- but she is a person- and she matters to GOD! She commited White Collar Crime- but im sure she will get the Poor Man's Punishment!!!!! "

" I don't know about all that Obama stuff, but I am SOOOO glad to see a criminal caught. This criminal thought - I want that money so I will go take it... Well, good for you, because now you will be locked up for a while. Think twice before you try to just take something that doesn't belong to you. Try working for your money. I know Atlanta must have seemed like a "heaven" to you, hahaha, even there in your so called "paradise", JUSTICE WILL FIND YOU! Enjoy prison criminal. "

" I suppose if you wanted to blame all the white peoples crimes on GW it would be ok, because we don't hide behind the curtain of supposed racial inequality. "

" Possum: You are an example of what is wrong with this country and this state. You allow your hatred and ignorance to form your thoughts and attitudes on everything. By your perverted logic, I suppose we could blame Dubya for all the crimes committed by white folks while he was in office. You seriously need to get some help. And I think you have mis-named yourself...SKUNK would be much more appropriate. "
