Bobby Malone, 41, asked the judge to not let him out of jail, saying he had a crack cocaine addiction.
Malone is accused of robbing the Compass Bank on Overlook Road Thursday morning.
Police say he attempted to cash a stolen check, but when a teller refused it, he handed her a note demanding money.
Malone's uncle says his nephew has a wife, three kids, and a job.
"He's a wonderful guy. He's a hard working guy," says Harry Reed. "He's a bright, very intelligent person. I had no idea about the drug problem. I really didn't know."
Malone's mom says she was saddened by her son's arrest, though she did not attend his bond hearing Friday.
Malone's bond was set at $10,500. He is charged with robbery, theft of property and contempt of court.
