Free On Bond For Robbery Case, Joliet Man Jailed On Felony Pot Charges
He was out of jail for less than two weeks when he was arrested again.
A Joliet man free on bond following his arrest for allegedly threatening minors and taking their money was back behind bars and facing felony pot charges early Friday morning.
Matthew Bednarkiewicz, 20, was locked up in the Will County jail just before 2:30 a.m. He was taken into custody by the state police.
Bednarkiewicz was only out of jail for just 13 days when he found himself back in trouble with the law. He had been arrested earlier this month on robbery and theft charges but was freed on $5,000 bail.
Bednarkiewicz was arrested for threatening two different minors and taking their money, according to a criminal complaint on file in Will County court.
As a condition of his bond, the unemployed west side resident was supposed to get a job or at least actively look for one, according to court records.
