Kennewick Robbery Accomplice Arrested

A 38-year-old woman is in the Benton County jail, suspected of acting as a lookout for a now-deceased Kennewick robbery suspect.

Kennewick police Thursday arrested Aimee Leseman after receiving some tips and information.    On the evening of November 19th,   38-year-old Travis Sregzinski held up the Headie's Glass Shop at 5623 West Clearwater.    Authorities say he was overheard by the clerk talking on speaker phone with Leseman, who was acting as a lookout.

Then on November 20th, Sregzinski  broke into two homes in the Yakima area, and attempted to hold two different women hostage before being surrounded by the Yakima area SWAT Team.   The woman in the second home also escaped,  he was later found dead in the home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  Police stormed the home after tossing in tear gas and flash grenades before finding Sregzinski dead inside.

Turns out,  Sregzinski was identified from surveillance camera footage as being the suspect in the Headie's robbery.   However,  this identification was not made until this week after he had died in Yakima.

No information was given by authorities if Leseman was with Sregzinski at any time during his ill-fated trip to Yakima.
