(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - A woman is accused of robbing Concepts Gentlemen's Club Wednesday, which was initially reported as an active shooter situation in Lawrenceburg.

Francisca Vazquez, also known as Francisco Vazquez, was arrested shortly after the armed robbery at the strip club that afternoon. She was formally charged Friday with a slew of counts including Robbery with a Deadly Weapon (level 3 felony), Attempted Kidnapping (level 3 felony), Criminal Confinement with a Deadly Weapon (level 3 felony), Intimidation (level 5 felony), Pointing a Firearm (level 6 felony), and Resisting Law Enforcement (level 6 felony). 

In a press release Friday, Dearborn-Ohio County Prosecutor Lynn Deddens says Vazquez brandished a gun inside the strip club and fired multiple shots. She allegedly held at gunpoint several unidentified patrons during the robbery. She fled the scene, but was captured by officers after a short chase in Lawrenceburg.

Vazquez, 31, of Cincinnati, is set to make her initial appearance in Dearborn Superior Court I at 9:00 a.m. Monday, August 19.

Investigators are now trying to identify and speak with three males who were victims in the robbery. 

"We would like to talk with these men because we believe they were robbed by Vazquez," stated Deddens. "We have photographs of the individuals in hopes of identifying them. If you know who these men are, please reach out to Det. Jeremy Shepherd of Lawrenceburg Police Department at 812-537-2284."
