A man whom police accused of robbing an Omaha bank last week was ordered held on $200,000 bail Monday by a Douglas County Court judge.

Charles R. McSpadden, 42, is accused of giving a teller a note demanding money at the U.S. Bank near 42nd and Valley Streets about 9:15 a.m. Friday, police said.

He must pay 10 percent of the bail amount, or $20,000, to be released.

Shortly after the robber left the bank with the money, police arrested McSpadden near 46th Street and Poppleton Avenue.

An assistant prosecutor with the Douglas County Attorney’s Office said that McSpadden has four felony convictions among 192 contacts with law enforcement agencies in the county.

When he was 36 McSpadden was found not guilty in a 2009 shooting and evaluated at a state mental health facility. Prosecutors accused him of shooting Jamar Adams, 28, three times in the chest outside Southside Barbers, 6902 S. 36th St. Adams was released from a hospital after about a week.

McSpadden was found guilty of misdemeanor false reporting in connection with the 1995 shooting death of Omaha Police Officer Jimmy Wilson Jr. and spent time in a Minnesota federal prison for conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine.
