No weapon, no threat, but Cary man robs bank, FBI says
A Cary man walked into a Woodstock bank Wednesday, handed the teller a note asking for money, and walked out with the cash in hand, authorities said.
He didn't have a gun or any other weapon, nor did he threaten use of force.
Michael Feterick, 45, also known as "Michael Retterly," was charged Thursday in federal court with robbery of the Fifth Third Bank at 1745 S. Eastwood Drive.
According to the complaint, Feterick entered the bank at about 10:50 a.m. and presented a note written in black sharpie reading, "Money, no dye pack," to a bank teller. The teller gave him money from the drawer, which he took and left.
"It's not uncommon that someone robs a bank without a weapon," Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Pedersen said.
FBI agents and officers from the Crystal Lake and Woodstock police departments caught up with Feterick later that day at an Algonquin hotel, authorities said. He is in federal custody pending a detention hearing at 3 p.m. Friday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Iain Johnston.
Bank robbery carries a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release following imprisonment, a fine of up to $250,000, and full restitution.
The U.S. Marshals Service, and the McHenry County Sheriff's Office and Algonquin Police Department helped with the investigation.
