Bolingbrook Man Held 4 Days By FBI Without Explanation Faces Bank Robbery Charge

A Bolingbrook man locked up for four days without explanation by the FBI was charged with robbing a bank.

The federal complaint against Myshawn Bonds, 23, was unsealed Wednesday, according to court records.

Bonds and Danquel Brown, 19, of allegedly held up the a BMO Harris Bank in Carpentersville on Sept. 11.

The two men entered the bank and Brown asked a teller where he could sign up for a new account, according to an affidavit sworn to by an FBI agent.

Bonds then walked up to the teller and asked for a pen, the affidavit says. When he got the pen, Bonds allegedly wrote a note and handed it to the teller. The note reportedly said, “Please put all the money in the bag I am armed so please don’t make any suddent (sic) movements unless you want to die! Only ring the alarm when I have exited the building Listen and no one gets harmed!”

While the teller was clearing the money out of her cash drawer, Bonds told her, “Don’t play stupid,” “Hurry up then,” and “Don’t say anything,” according to the affidavit. He then opened his backpack and showed her the butt of a handgun.

Brown and Bonds absconded with more than $2,000, the affidavit said, and made their getaway in a gold Toyota Corolla registered to Brown.

Bonds was captured in Bolingbrook. Brown, who recently lived in Plainfield, according to Will County Sheriff’s Department records, was apprehended the same day in Rockford.

Bonds was released from state prison in March. He did time for theft and obstructing justice.

Bonds was arrested in 2011 for allegedly ripping off people who were trying to sell things on Craigslist. Bonds and another man made arrangements to meet the sellers, but then stole the property instead of buying it, CBS Chicago reported. Bonds and the other man then allegedly attempted to sell the stolen property on Craigslist.
