Cunningham was freed from prison Feb. 15, and six hours later held up the Chase Bank branch at 5134 N. Clark St., according to the FBI.A federal indictment Wednesday charges Cunningham with stealing $6,180 from the bank.During the heist, Cunningham apparently wore the same clothes issued to him when he was released from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago, the FBI said. "I want $100s, $50s and $20s," he allegedly told the teller. "This is a robbery."When the teller said he must be kidding, he responded, "I'm not joking" and put his hand in his jacket like he had a gun, the FBI said.On Sept. 6, a surveillance photo of the robber was shown on a TV news broadcast, leading to tips from his estranged wife and an employee at a restaurant where Cunningham tried to get a job, the FBI said.Cunningham, 39, was arrested Sept. 19 in northwest Indiana, where he has relatives in Portage, authorities said.He robbed at least three Chicago banks in 1995, according to the FBI.
