GRAND RAPIDS, MI (WHTC) – The criminal case against a 60-year-old Holland man accused of robbery in the 16th Street-Waverly Road neighborhood where he lived has now moved to the federal court system. That’s because Cornelius Cook-Bey was indicted at US District Court on armed bank robbery charges stemming from a holdup of a Macatawa Bank branch on September 14th. The feds are also accusing him for interference with commerce by robbery due to an incident four days later at the Meijer store across 16th Street from the bank. A total of over 37 hundred dollars taken in the two incidents was reportedly recovered at his home. Cook-Bey remains held in the Ottawa County Jail on 100 thousand dollars bond.
