Followup: White Center Chase Bank holdup suspect charged
(WCN photo from July 25th)
A charge of first-degree robbery is now filed against 30-year-old Bryan Allen Hill of Everett, the man arrested by police shortly after last Wednesday morning’s robbery at Chase Bank in White Center. Charging documents say he entered the bank, banged his gun against a teller’s glass window, then pointed it at the teller and ordered her to give him “All the money, all the money from the drawers.” She pushed money at him through the window, investigators say, and he scooped it up before bolting southbound on 17th SW, even as another bank employee was activating an automatic call to 911. After he left the bank, a citizen saw him drop his gun, bend over to pick it up, and keep running. That citizen, the court documents say, got into his car and followed a ways, but lost sight. Then, detectives say, a sergeant about four blocks from the bank spotted Hill carrying something and alternating between a jog and a fast walk. The sergeant yelled for Hill to stop, yelled again, and then, on the third try, got him to stop. He was found to have a Glock handgun and $1,865 in cash, and witnesses from both inside and outside the bank identified him. He’s jailed in lieu of $150,000 bail and is scheduled to go to court to answer the charge next week.
