GRAND RAPIDS, MI—Adam Quincy Jones, using the alias Matthew Thomas Jones, and Tammy Jo Jones were charged in federal court today with armed bank robbery, U.S. Attorney Donald A. Davis announced. The charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 25 years’ imprisonment, supervised release of five years, a $250,000 fine, and restitution.
The affidavit supporting the complaint alleges that on Wednesday September 28, 2011 the Comerica Bank branch located at 857 Four Mile Road, NW, Comstock Park, Michigan was robbed of approximately $75,000 by a then-unknown male armed with a handgun. After locking the bank employees in the vault, the man fled on a bicycle to a waiting rental truck. The driver of the truck, later identified as Tammy Jo Jones, refused to stop for officers and led them on a chase through Grand Rapids. Currency was thrown from the vehicle from Burlingame, SW to Clyde Park Road along 44th Street, along Clyde Park to Burton and along Century Avenue. The chase ended near the intersection of Hall Street and Grandville Avenue. Both occupants of the truck were arrested. The male passenger has been identified as Adam Quincy Jones.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office advise that anyone who has come into possession of money thrown from the vehicle should turn the evidence in to the FBI or Kent County Sheriff’s Office.
The case is being investigated by the FBI as well as the Kent County Sheriff’s Department. The initial appearance of the defendants has been scheduled for 3:30 before Magistrate Judge Ellen Carmody.
