Oregon man indicted for Cd'A bank robbery
COEUR d'ALENE - A 31-year-old Bend, Ore., man was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury for robbing a Coeur d'Alene bank, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced Wednesday.
The indictment in U.S. District Court alleges that on or about Aug. 27, 2010, Bradley W. Monical robbed a branch of Wells Fargo Bank, at 114 E. Appleway Ave., in Coeur d'Alene.
Authorities at the time said the robber waved a gun around during the robbery, then made his getaway on a bicycle.
Authorities said the suspect entered the bank around 6 p.m. wearing a bike helmet and a mask, threw cloth re-usable grocery bags at the tellers and demanded they hurry up and fill them. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The charge of bank robbery is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release.
The case was investigated by the FBI and the Coeur d'Alene Police Department.
An indictment is a means of charging a person with criminal activity.
