Last Friday, a bank robbery unfolded at the PNC Bank located at 2992 S. Main Street in Ann Arbor. As reported by ClickOnDetroit, a 26-year-old woman, since identified as Christina Ikerd of Wayne, is accused of passing a note to a bank teller indicating that she possessed a gun and an explosive device, leading to her demanding and subsequently receiving an undisclosed sum of money from the bank.
Ann Arbor Police Department responded to the incident immediately after, quickly to ensure the safety of those in the vicinity. An evacuation and a detailed search, courtesy of a police K-9 unit, revealed no presence of explosive devices on the premises. This information was detailed in a social media post by the City of Ann Arbor Police Department. The suspect had fled the scene before authorities arrived.
Ikerd was apprehended without incident the following day, presumably after an investigation that was swift in pinpointing her identification. Although the teller received threats concerning a firearm and a bomb, officials confirmed that neither a firearm nor any explosive devices were observed during the incident. The narrative unfolded with a sense of urgency, but absent the dramatic apparition of weapons one might expect in such dire circumstances.
Ikerd was charged with bank robbery, and her bond was set at $75,000 cash when she was arraigned at the 14A-1 District Court on Sunday.
