ANN ARBOR, MI – A man who became angry when he was told his direct deposit hadn’t cleared yet took his anger out on his bank, throwing a heavy animal trap and concrete chunks through the building’s windows, police said.
Stephen Lee Wallace, 51, of Chelsea, was arraigned Friday, Dec. 4, on two felony counts of malicious destruction of property after being arrested for allegedly throwing various heavy items through the windows of Chase Bank in Ann Arbor, according to the Ann Arbor Police Department.
At about 9:45 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, Wallace entered the bank at 2475 W. Stadium Blvd. where he asked about a direct deposit he was expecting to be available in his account, police said.
Wallace was told the deposit hadn’t cleared yet, leading him to grow frustrated and angry, yelling at employees as he left the bank, police said. Once outside, Wallace apparently uprooted a mailbox, tied the front doors shut with guitar string and proceeded to bang on the front door, police said.
He then began throwing various objects at the ATM outside before picking up an animal trap with a concrete base and throwing it through the window, police said.
As bank employees called for police, Wallace picked up a chunk of concrete and threw it through the drive-thru window before leaving on his bike, police said.
Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputies found Wallace riding west on Jackson Avenue and arrested him without further incident, police said.
No injuries were reported and the damage caused to the bank is estimated to be more that $10,000, police said.
Wallace is currently free on bond and scheduled for a probable cause conference hearing Dec. 15 in Ann Arbor’s 15th District Court.
If convicted, Wallace faces up to five years in prison and or a fine of $10,000 or three times the value of the damaged property, whichever is greater.
