MILWAUKEE/ANTIOCH (WITI) — A Wisconsin monk charged with trying to abduct a 14-year-old girl in Antioch, Illinois almost got out of jail, before his bond was raised.
57-year-old Thomas Chmura paid his bail on Thursday, May 9th, but then, a judge tripled it and ordered him back into custody.
Prosecutors say the reason for that is because there is a children’s facility where Chmura works at Saint Benedict’s Abbey in Kenosha County.
Police Chmura on April 26th after seeing him stop his car in the middle of traffic to talk to three women on the sidewalk.
Police say Chmura was driving next to the girl the night before, when he asked her to get into his car. After his arrest, officers say Chmura admitted he approached the girl for purposes of sexual gratification.
