A monk charged with trying to kidnap a teenage girl almost got out of jail, until his bond was raised.

Thomas Chmura is being held in the Lake County jail for child abduction.

He is a monk at St. Benedict’s Abbey in Wisconsin.

Police arrested him last month for trying to abduct a teenage girl in Antioch.
