Cops arrest alleged Sitting Duck robbery accomplice

Update on January 29 Sitting Duck Armed Robbery Based on further investigation by Lake County Sheriff's Detectives, a felony arrest warrant was issued for the arrest of 33 year old Crystal Dolar, of Bigfork, for solicitation of armed robbery and tampering with a witness. Crystal was arrested in the Bigfork area this morning with the assistance of Flathead County Sheriff's Office.

Montana Codes Annotated defines solicitation as "with the purpose that an offense be committed, the person commands, encourages, or facilitates the commission of that offense."

The same penalties that apply to the offense also apply to solicitation of the offense.

Though investigation remains active, it is believed that there are no additional suspects in relation to this incident. Crystal will be transported to the Lake County Detention Facility. I have copied the original press release regarding this investigation below for your reference:
