A Wyoming woman was arrested after police say she lit up her former boyfriend's house, then robbed a saloon alongside another man who is still on the run.

Victoria Tidball, 28, allegedly fired up to 40 rounds at her ex's home and Jeep with a 9mm Glock following an argument in which he reportedly broke up with her due to her excessive drinking, according to an affidavit obtained by Cowboy State Daily.

Tidball reportedly fired at her ex's front and back doors, prompting the man to find cover in his kitchen.

Just hours later, she allegedly joined 33-year-old Cody Ellenson in a heist at the Whistle Pig, a saloon where Ellenson worked as a bartender.

The pair were spotted together inside the bar, located in the small town of Saratoga, on the evening of Dec. 15. The next morning, Ellenson's coworkers discovered that the establishment had been wiped of close to $2,000.

Ellenson reportedly lived in a camper just behind the bar, but he hasn't been spotted there since the alleged robbery.

Tidball was arrested in Nebraska 12 days after the Bonnie-and-Clyde-like escapade.

She was charged with aggravated assault and being an accessory to a crime after the fact. If found guilty, she could face up to 13 years in prison and $13,000 in fines.

Police warned that Ellenson has yet to be located and should be considered armed and dangerous.
