Prosecutors said Holeman fled with $1,820, but he left behind sheets of paper he used to cover his face during the robbery -- including a forfeiture notice bearing his name and home address.
Holeman also dropped his cellphone outside the bank when an armed security guard fired a gun into the air as a warning. The guard shot at the back tires of Holeman's Pontiac Grand Prix as he fled, prosecutors said.
Investigators said they used the information from the phone and paperwork to contact Holeman's family members, who identified him from bank surveillance footage.
Holeman was arrested Dec. 14 without incident, Chicago police said.
The FBI said investigators believe Holeman was behind three other Chicago-area bank robberies earlier this year, but no charges have yet been filed in those cases.
