A man accused of robbing an armored car at gunpoint earlier this year had previously served 26 years in federal prison and was granted “compassionate release” by the state of California, which is typically reserved for inmates diagnosed with terminal diseases or other debilitating illnesses.
Markham David Bond, 60, of Inglewood was arrested in November for allegedly robbing a Brinks courier at gunpoint in a Chase bank parking lot on South Sepulveda Boulevard in Westchester on Aug. 18.
Bond allegedly pointed a gun at a Brinks employee who was carrying a blue duffel bag full of cash, ordered him to the ground and verbally threatened him. He then fled with the duffel bag, which was filled with about $145,000 in cash.
Police issued a crime alert for the suspect, releasing still images of a getaway car and the person identified as the robber.
On Aug. 27, officers located and seized the vehicle, a Chevrolet Tahoe with “distinctive rims and damage to a rear window,” where they found the blue duffel bag and a black Las Vegas Raiders ballcap that matched the one shown in surveillance images.
Bond was eventually identified as the suspect through DNA evidence collected from the ballcap and was arrested at his Inglewood home on Nov. 22. His home is located only about a few-hundred feet from where the suspect vehicle was found, officials said.
During the arrest, authorities recovered a .40-caliber pistol with 10 rounds of ammunition, a maroon-colored long-sleeve shirt similar to the one worn by the armored car robber, as well as $9,000 in crumpled cash that was hidden inside a refrigerator.

When did America decide to become a nation of clowns?
Time for drive-up windows for armored cars?
Judge or whoever granted the release, the perp and the DA should be hung on live TV.
And I thought there was a law against a felon owning a firearm. Both US and Cali law. Silly me.

These laws only apply to someone who legally owns a gun and uses it to stop a crime or in self defense in which case they are arrested and the criminal is given a cookie and let go. /s
put his lawyer in the same cell with him to help him with all those things he says he cant do for himself. until such time as it takes for the perp to die

Well, at least he only had 10 rounds!! /s
His taste in sports teams is questionable also.
Otherwise, he was dressed rather well for an armored car robbery.
At least he didn’t wear white after Labor Day.
Hopefully he wore an appropriate cologne as well.
Ole Markham didn’t realize that police might put recently released bank robbers at the top of their suspect list... He had to have wanted back in prison.
