DALLAS — A federal criminal complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Dallas charging Malik Idis Houston, 29, of Dallas with robbing the Guaranty Bank at 2703 W. Illinois Avenue in Dallas yesterday, announced U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper of the Northern District of Texas. Houston made his initial appearance this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Irma C. Ramirez who ordered that he remain in federal custody pending a probable cause and detention hearing set for next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.
The affidavit filed with the complaint states that at approximately 4:35 p.m. Thursday June 12, two robbers entered the bank. One robber held a gun on a teller while the other one jumped over the teller station’s counter and said, “Give me all the money!” He then reached into the drawer and began taking the money out of the top drawer. He then asked the teller where the rest of the money was. The teller stated that was all there was. The robber stated “No it’s not. Where’s the other drawer?” The robber then opened the second drawer and took that money too. The robber jumped back over the counter and the robber holding the gun ordered everyone to the floor. Both robbers then fled the bank with the money.
Malik Idis Houston was found, along with all of the stolen money, at an apartment on West Ledbetter in Dallas. Houston admitted that he was the one who jumped over the counter and took the money at the Guaranty Bank robbery. Houston’s accomplices remain at large.
U.S. Attorney Roper praised the investigative efforts of the FBI and the Dallas Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon McCarthy is prosecuting the case.
