Robbery suspect must complete drug program to avoid prison

Carlie K. McCauley, 24, of Du Quoin, Illinois, was sentenced Monday to a 120-day institutional drug-treatment program by Circuit Judge Benjamin Lewis after she pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery Feb. 22.

If McCauley completes the program, she will receive probation. If she does not, she faces eight years in the Missouri Department of Corrections.

McCauley was accused of offering sex to a man in exchange for money but instead leading him into a trap at a Cape Girardeau hotel Nov. 11. McCauley's alleged accomplice, Jeffrey Dancy, 32, of Sparta, Illinois, is accused of punching the victim in the face and stealing $260 from his wallet.

Dancy's case was set for a June 30 trial. Dancy also faces a charge of second-degree robbery.
