MILWAUKEE (AP) — The two suspects accused in last month’s theft of a $5 million Stradivarius violin are out of jail.
Online court records Tuesday said a $10,000 cash bond was posted for 41-year-old Salah Salahadyn and a $500 cash bond for Universal Allah.
Both men were charged last week with being a party to robbery. A court commissioner imposed the higher bond on Salahadyn because he has a lengthy criminal record that includes art theft.
Prosecutors say Allah provided the stun gun used to attack and rob violin virtuoso Frank Almond. According to the criminal complaint, Salahadyn had been plotting to steal a Stradivarius.
Allah’s defense attorney, Paul Ksicinski, notes the complaint says his client wasn’t at the robbery scene.
Salahadyn’s public defender, Alejandro Lockwood, did not immediately return a message Tuesday.
