Eau Claire (WQOW) - Jail time is ordered for a woman involved in an Eau Claire robbery where a gunshot was fired.
Police say Michelle Holmstrom went home with a man she met at a local bar last December.
When the man left the room momentarily, Holmstrom allegedly let a male accomplice into the residence. He jumped the other man, then fled with Holmstrom and the man's wallet. The victim's roommate heard the commotion and fired a shot, but no one was hit.
Holmstrom was sentenced to up to six months in jail. Cases against other suspects are still pending.
