Compassionately Released Convict Accused of New Armed Robbery

Markham David Bond, previously sentenced for armed robbery, faces life in prison if convicted of new charges.

Markham David Bond, 60, who was granted compassionate release after serving 26 years of a 46-year sentence for armed robbery, is accused of committing another armed robbery.
Bond allegedly robbed a courier at gunpoint on August 18, stealing $145,000 in cash from an armored carrier outside a bank branch in Los Angeles' Westchester neighborhood.
Authorities found Bond's car, which contained a blue duffel bag and the same Raiders hat that the robber wore on the day of the robbery, according to security camera footage.
Bond was arrested on November 22 at home, where officers found a .40 caliber pistol and 10 rounds of ammunition, a maroon-colored shirt similar to one worn by the robber, and crumpled cash totaling $9,005, found in multiple plastic bags inside a mini-fridge.
If convicted of the new alleged crimes, Bond faces life in prison.
