PRESS RELEASE - Robbery Suspect apprehended
This morning at about 0915 hours, the Chase bank located at 290 E 2nd N, in the city of Mountain Home called 911 and stated that they had just been robbed. A suspect description was given to dispatch and passed on to responding officers. As officers were arriving in the area, bank employees called back and stated that they had just seen the described suspect in a vehicle driving eastbound on American Legion. That vehicle was located and stopped in the 1600 block of American Legion. The white male adult driver immediately jumped out of the vehicle and, following the directions of nearby officers, went prone on the ground and surrendered. His passenger, the described suspect, climbed into the driver’s seat and drove away from the stop at a high rate of speed. Officers from both the Mountain Home Police Department and the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office pursued the suspect vehicle eastbound onto the I-84 at high rates of speed. The pursuit was initially too fast to allow officers to safely close the distance to attempt a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT). The suspect vehicle eventually jumped the center median near the 117 mile marker and continued to flee from officers, now going westbound back towards Mountain Home.
