Bond Reduced For Accused 'Barbie Bandit'

A judge reduced the bond Thursday for accused 'Barbie Bandit' Heather Johnston to $10,000.

Police say Johnston and Ashley Miller passed a note last month to a teller at an Acworth bank demanding cash.

The teller is a friend of the two women and was also arrested.

Johnston's bail was cut from $25,000 to $10,000.

The judge ordered her to live with her parents in Lawrenceville. He also ordered her to observe a strict 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. curfew.

After the hearing, Johnston's parents said they are relieved the bond was lowered and looked forward to getting their daughter back on the right path. Her parents are trying to figure out a way to come up with the bond money.

During the hearing a Cobb County police detective testified that two young women charged with stealing nearly $11,000 went on a shopping spree, ate a meal, stopped at a salon and even game money to the homeless.

Miller remains in jail because she also faces DUI charges in Clayton County.
