Detroit Man Arrested In Dearborn Bank Robbery: Police

DEARBORN, MI — Police on Monday arrested a man who they say robbed a Dearborn bank in January.

Kevin Joseph Rodriguez, 30, was charged with multiple felonies, including bank robbery, false report/threat of a bomb and wearing a mask to commit a crime, according to police.

Rodriguez, from Detroit, was placed in jail on a $50,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 7.

Police said Rodriguez was wearing a bright blue Detroit Pistons hooded sweatshirt, gray winter hood, winter gloves and a white N-95 style mask when he walked into the Federal Credit Union on Oakwood Boulevard near the Southfield Freeway on Jan. 18.

Rodriguez then approached a bank teller and demanded the teller put money in bags, police said.

Rodriguez told the teller he had a bomb and threatened to ignite it if the teller didn’t cooperate, police said.

After receiving the money, Rodriquez fled the scene in a silver Chevrolet Cobalt, police said.

Officials spent several weeks investigating the robbery.

"Any actions that put our community in danger will not be tolerated in the City of Dearborn, and we will continue to use all available resources to bring perpetrators to justice," Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin said.
