Dyanna Bowman, 26, of Brampton, appeared disheveled during her brief appearance.

Her co accused, Alicia Campbell, 28, and also from Brampton was not in court and police confirm she remains in hospital.

Both are expected in court at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow for a bail hearing.

Wearing the same black slacks, white t-shirt and blue jacket she was arrested in, Bowman glanced around the court but did not see anyone there to support her.

Earlier, a man describing himself as her husband was outside court but left prior to her appearance.

Bowman is charged with three counts of theft under $5000, possession of stolen property over $5000, robbery, theft over $5000, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, fail to stop at the scene of a collision, two counts of failing to comply with recognizance and possession of a controlled substance.
