BUMP J. ARRESTED FOR $100,000 BANK RAID
Rapper BUMP J. has been arrested for allegedly stealing $100,000 (GBP67,500) from a Chicago bank in 2007.
The rapper, real name Terrance Boykin, was detained by federal officials in Carbondale, Illinois and taken into custody following a routine traffic stop earlier this week (beg10Nov08).
He is accused of robbing a Chase Bank branch at gunpoint in January 2007 with a male accomplice.
Boykin and the unnamed pal are alleged to have entered the financial institution and announced the robbery before taking more than $100,000 (GBP67,500).
No one was injured in the heist, which was captured on surveillance cameras.
Boykin is indicted on one count of bank robbery and of violation of federal firearms statues. He is being held without bond at the Carbondale Police Department, awaiting extradition to Chicago.
The other man who allegedly participated in the robbery remains at large.
