A St. Joseph man is being held without bond after being accused of robbing a local bank over the weekend.

Terry Hager, 48 made his first court appearance Tuesday on a charge of felony first-degree robbery after a stickup Saturday at the UMBA Bank at 1211 N. Belt.  Hager appeared by video conference from the Buchanan County Law Enforcement Center.  Judge Keith Marquart denied bond for Hager because the court said it finds the defendant to be a danger to the community.  Bond had previously been set at $150,000 cash only.

According to court documents, Hager was out on a federal parole violation for a prior federal conviction for bank robbery at the time of his arrest.

A preliminary hearing in this case has been set for March 25.
