A grand jury has indicted three generations of a single family on charges related to a poker heist at Colonial Country Club in Memphis, Tennessee.

Mother Mildred Fioretto, daughter Sheree McKinley and granddaughter Marilyn Jackson were indicted in connection with the Sept. 9 robbery. McKinley’s boyfriend was also indicted.

McKinley, 47, worked as a server at the country club. She is alleged to have allowed two men into the club to commit the robbery.

Jackson was not charged with taking part in the heist itself but was caught on surveillance tape breaking in the day before to steal liquor.
