Police: Woman wanted duo to rob restaurant

WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Police say a woman tried to get a couple to rob the Pennsylvania fast-food restaurant where she worked.

Police say 23-year-old Alayna Weishner-Rush asked the duo to rob the Burger King in Washington, Pennsylvania, on Jan. 14. The suspect wanted them to rob the restaurant while she
was working the drive-thru window, so she could split the money with them later.

But police say the couple instead contacted police about the plan and no robbery occurred.

The Washington Observer-Reporter first reported the charges Monday. They were filed last week and Weishner-Rush faces a preliminary hearing on two counts of criminal solicitation on Feb. 16.

The suspect remained in the Washington County jail on charges she violated parole in another case
