CHICAGO — A man from Indianapolis flashed a gun at a bank teller who told him she could not allow him to withdraw money at a Wells Fargo branch in the West Loop, according to a Chicago police report. It happened at the bank’s 935 West Randolph location around 2 p.m. Monday, the report said.
Kadrionis Rutledge, 22, allegedly told the teller, “You can’t do this to me. I don’t accept this. This is unacceptable.”
He then lifted his hoodie to expose a firearm, looking at the teller and then at the weapon, according to the report.
The bank contacted the police, and arriving officers saw Rutledge get out of a vehicle and walk toward the branch. Since he matched the suspect’s description, they decided to stop him for a chat, according to the report.
Rutledge allegedly admitted that he had a gun while inside the bank and told the cops that the weapon was currently inside the vehicle they saw him exit, according to the report. But, he insisted, he never threatened anyone, and he didn’t think the weapon was visible while he was inside the branch. CPD recovered a loaded firearm from between the car’s driver’s seat and center console, the report said.
A bank teller told officers that Rutledge became “upset because he was not allowed to withdraw funds.”
Prosecutors charged him with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon.
Judge Susana Ortiz detained Rutledge pending trial.
