The suspect involved in a hostage standoff with police at a Wells Fargo bank in Minnesota Thursday was the suspect in another case involving felony charges and was released after only five days, according to court documents.

Ray Reco McNeary, 35, was arrested after a hostage situation stemming from an attempted bank robbery at a branch location in St. Cloud. But he was arrested in March and charged with two counts of felony domestic assault, although he was released days later despite the judge setting his bond for $50,000, reported Fox News.
