SALEM – A Woburn woman who police say robbed two Lynn convenience stores and a taxi cab driver in April to support her heroin addiction has been deemed a danger, but may be released later on specified conditions pending trial.In Salem Superior Court this week, Judge Timothy Q. Feeley found Emily E. Landry, 27, of 65 High St., posed a danger to the community, but allowed her to go free on her own personal recognizance with the condition she enroll and complete an in-patient drug program at the Salvation Army in Saugus.Upon her discharge from the program, she is to report back to court for a further hearing regarding the terms of her release. Failure to abide and complete the substance abuse program would result in her being held without bail pending her trial.Assistant District Attorney Cristina Pujals Ronan had filed a petition seeking to have her held without bail pending trial, stating she posed a danger to the community.Following a hearing on Wednesday afternoon, Feeley determined Landry is a danger, but defense lawyer Sierra Rosen was able to convince the judge to let her enter and complete an inpatient drug program because of her long-standing heroin addiction.Landry is charged with robbing a Lynn taxi cab driver and two local convenient stores at knifepoint between April 24-26 – allegations she denies.She is also charged with trying to rob a 7-Eleven on Lynnfield Street in Wyoma Square on April 27.Allison Avagianos, 27, of 89 Beach St., Revere, was allegedly the getaway driver of a mini-van in that case.Both are charged with armed assault with intent to rob in the case, which they have denied.Avagianos, charged additionally with negligent operation of a motor vehicle in the case, was also deemed a danger by Feeley. She pleaded innocent but currently remains held on an unrelated case at Framingham Prison for Women until July 23, at which time another hearing will be scheduled before Feeley for conditions of her release.Feeley indicated he would probably impose a $5,000 cash bail and place her in an inpatient treatment program or on house arrest with a GPS monitoring system.Their next scheduled court date is July 21 for a pretrial conference.Landry faces a potential life sentence on each of the armed robbery charges.A conviction on the attempted armed robbery carries a punishment of up to 20 years in state prison.An Essex County grand jury indicted the women last month.
