Bail was set at $50,000 today for a Benedictine monk accused of trying to abduct a 14-year old girl in north suburban Antioch on Thursday.
57-year old Thomas Chmura of Benet Lake, Wisconsin appeared in Lake County court.
A judge ordered him not to have contact with anyone under age 17.
Antioch Police say the 14 year old told them he pulled-up in a van and approached the victim while she was walking on Skidmore Drive.
The girl ran away.
A police report was made and an off-duty officer spotted the van he was in, registered to Saint Benedicts Abbey in Benet Lake.
