Feds: Man robs bank hours after release     Send a link to a friend

[September 21, 2007]  CHICAGO (AP) -- Federal authorities say an Indiana man robbed a Chicago bank just hours after he was released from jail for a bank robbery conviction. FBI spokesman Ross Rice says 39-year-old Kenneth Cunningham was arrested Wednesday in Portage, Ind.

Cunningham had been sentenced to 87 months in prison for a 1995 robbery at a Chicago bank.

He was released from prison on Feb. 15.

Authorities allege Cunningham held up a Chase Bank on Chicago's North Side hours later. He was still wearing clothes issued to him from Chicago's Metropolitan Correctional Center.

Cunningham is accused of stealing $6,000.
