Suffolk police originally arrested the pair on July 14 shortly after the suspects allegedly robbed a Ronkonkoma bank at gunpoint. Investigators said at the time that the duo had robbed a Melville bank 11 days prior and that they were committing the crimes to pay for their heroin habit.
The two had met in detox while seeking treatment for heroin addiction at Nassau University Medical Center, police have said.
Feist and Fabian each had pleaded not guilty to robbery and conspiracy charges in Suffolk. Feist was already facing drug charges in Nassau at the time of her July arrest.
Feist is being held at Nassau County jail and Fabian is being held at Suffolk County jail. Both were denied bail.
Fabian is due back at Suffolk County court on Dec. 17 and Feist is due back at Dec. 22. Both are due back at Nassau County court on Dec. 21.
Lock them in a room? Why don’t we lock you in a room and throw away the key….You don’t know what lead them to this and what and their young lives may have brought them to do drugs. You say such drug abusers are always going to be dependent on something…shows how uneducated you are. Maybe they just need a strong person in their lives to help and push them to successed. Maybe we should look at what type of parents where in their lives…I know for a fact Nikki’s parents are the ones that got her hooked…so shut up about things you don’t know. By the way change you name…simple solution…there never is a simple solution.
Lock them in a room with all of the drugs they want, until they’re either dead or much wiser.
Such drug abusers are always going to be dependent on something.
If they don’t gain the experience to get themselves off the drug(s), it is never going to happen.
Rehab is about as useful as Dog Psychology.
