This 86-year-old Granny is not playing with any of y'all!!!

Last November, Ms. Emily Coakley walked into a Philadelphia TD Bank demanding $400! Oh, and she did it with a gun in her hand!

Well...this week she finally plead guilty to her charges.

According to the Associated Press, Coakley entered pleas to lesser charges of possession of an instrument of crime and simple assault to secure her probation, while the other charges, including robbery and theft, were withdrawn.

So what prompted her to rob this bank? If you think greed, you're way off here. 

Police believe that Coakley got all "Set It Off" because she believed the bank had ripped her off. AND WE ALL KNOW YOU BETTER NOT MESS WITH AN OLD BLACK WOMAN'S MONEY!!!!

In the meantime, police say that because of her age and failing health--and the fact the gun didn't have any bullets--they brought her charges down. But of course the folks who were present at the time of the crime, feel otherwise. 

That's crazy. It's mind blowing," one bank customer told FOX 29.

"That's pretty unusual. I never heard of a bank robber that age and armed," John McDonald said as he walked by police outside the bank.

"With a gun, yeah they should charge her," another customer told FOX 29.

Well, whatever the case, Coakley is home safe and out of trouble! 

We're pretty sure that after all of this drama, she won't be robbing any banks anytime soon. She better not be!
