An Irvington woman is arrested in connection with two robberies in broad daylight.

Mobile police say 40-year-old Terry Guidry tried to rob the M&D Coin Laundry on Bellingrath Road in Theodore Thursday morning. But when she pulled out a knife, the owner of the laundromat pulled out her gun and Guidry ran.

She did the same thing about two hours later. According to the Sheriff's Office, Guidry robbed the Dollar General on Irvington/Bayou La Batre Highway. But this time, she got away with some cash.

The Sheriff's Office received an anonymous tip about Guidry around 4:30 p.m. She was arrested and questioned about the robbery. Deputies say she confessed and was then taken to Metro Jail.
