Answer: False

Explanation: Alphonse may be charged for some offence that is related to "among other things" from the question, for carrying a weapon or suspected of committing an offence because he put on a mask or whatever, but not of conspiracy to rob a bank. In order to be charged with and convicted of conspiracy to rob a bank, he had to conspire with someone else, at least one other person, that is, two at least, and he was alone.
