OAKLAND \u2014 A 36-year-old man was charged charged in Alameda County with taking $300 to $400 during an April 20 bank robbery, authorities announced Friday.<\/p>\n
Matthew Harris, of Oakland, allegedly confessed in full to the Wells Fargo bank robbery, expressing remorse and blaming his addiction to fentanyl, authorities said. He was arrested Thursday at a transitional housing hotel where he lives, according to court records.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Harris spoke with KTVU about his life for a piece about the transitional housing program, talking frankly about his history with heroin addiction and how the opportunity for housing has been a life changer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI might be in jail, or prison maybe. If I wasn\u2019t locked up, I would probably be in Berkeley dodging the cops, you know, all that stuff,\u201d he told KTVU.<\/p>\n
Harris is being held at Santa Rita Jail in lieu of $75,000 bail and is set to be arraigned on Monday, authorities said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND \u2014 A 36-year-old man was charged charged in Alameda County with taking $300 to $400 during an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[862,143,122097,122098,145,144],"class_list":["post-284794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-california-crime","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-bank-robbery","tag-oakland-bank-robbery-bay-area-crime","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
