Federal prosecutors said Phillips posed as a customer and handed the
tellers a deposit slip and announced he was robbing the bank.
In the Belvidere robbery, he threatened a teller by saying, "Don’t make
me come over the counter," after he wasn't given as much money as he
demanded, prosecutors said.
Three days after that heist, law enforcement searched his Rockford home
and found $5,090 in cash hidden in a sock.
The cash included numerous bills identified by serial numbers as having
been stolen from the banks during the two heists, authorities said.
The robberies were committed while Phillips was on court-supervised
release following a federal conviction for two 2017 bank robberies in
Rockford.
