The indictment also alleges that on May 3, 2007, Holder entered the US Bank located at 4330 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, California, and handed a demand note to one of the tellers, threatening physical harm if she was not given money. In response to Holder’s demand, the teller handed over $868.00 in cash
from a cash drawer. Holder fled the bank, and she was arrested by officers of the San Diego Police Department within the hour.

Holder is next scheduled to be in court for motions setting on May 29, 2007 at 9:00 a.m., before United States District Judge Thomas Whelan.
