Baltimore Youthful Bank Robber Faces Multiple Charges
Charles Bird, described as a youthful desperado, is to be tried here for seven highway robberies totaling over $1,200 and a $36 liquor truck heist. State and federal prosecutors seek to waive jurisdiction, with a special grand jury convened to hear the case next week. Bird's bond stands at $175,000, his wife at $25,000, and he faces up to 20 years per robbery if convicted in state court. The FBI case could send him to Alcatraz if federal charges prevail.
