While investigators piece together the last three months of his alleged crime spree, the Dorchester man suspected of being Boston’s Bonbon Bandit is being held on $350,000 cash bail.
Prosecutors yesterday sought to have Alan Daughtry, 47, held on $1 million cash after he pleaded not guilty in the South Boston Division of Boston Municipal Court to robbing the Famous Footwear store at South Bay Shopping Center at gunpoint Monday night. Two witnesses from that holdup identified Daughtry from a photo array, according to prosecutors. He is due back in court Aug. 7 for a probable cause hearing.
The Bonbon Bandit got his nickname from Boston police because several of the nearly two dozen businesses he’s believed to have knocked off in Boston and Cambridge since April 15 have been gourmet chocolate shops and ice cream parlors. The Bonbon Bandit was at times armed with a sawed-off shotgun, handgun or knife and would order store employees to get on the floor or go in an office while he cleaned out their cash registers. He was typically seen carrying a shoulder bag and wearing a ball cap. Two employees at Famous Footwear on Monday night were allegedly shown by Daughtry the barrel of a gun inside a shoulder bag. “This is a stickup,” Daughtry allegedly told them. “I will shoot you if you move.” Prosecutors said Daughtry walked a manager to the front of the store, where she turned over to him the contents of a safe. Daughtry was arrested Tuesday afternoon and his Columbia Road home searched. Police are expected to revisit victims of the Bonbon Bandit with Daughtry’s photo to see if they can build a bigger case against him.
