According to Placer County Sheriff, on May 16 at 9:06 am, the suspect entered the Plumas Bank on North Lake Boulevard in Kings Beach, pulled out a gun, demanded money from two tellers, and then ran to a nearby car. A witness reportedly saw him drive away and was able to give Placer County Sheriff’s deputies a license plate number and vehicle description.
Two FBI agents were reportedly driving to the bank from South Lake Tahoe when they spotted the suspect’s vehicle pulled to the side of the road near Sand Harbor. The agents were reportedly in an unmarked car and maintained surveillance until a marked Nevada Highway Patrol car joined them. The suspect reportedly got back on the road, realized law enforcement vehicles were behind him, and failed to pull over. A pursuit reportedly began, which ended near Highway 50 and Highway 395 in Carson City. The suspect reportedly attempted to run from his car and was apprehended by officers.
Agencies reportedly pursuing the suspect included the Nevada Highway Patrol, the FBI and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, and there were no accidents or injuries in the pursuit.
And on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, a nursing assistant at an Auburn care home was reportedly arrested by Placer County Sheriff’s deputies, after two elderly female residents at the home reportedly complained he had exposed himself to them and had kissed them against their will.
