Robbery suspect lodged in jail A man identified by the Eugene police as Irving Barry Silverstein has been lodged in the City County Jail in Eugene on charges of robbery, first degree kidnaping and menacing. The 29-year old suspect was arrested Friday evening minutes after the U.S. National Bank’s campus branch was robbed of approximately $12,(XK) The state will file formal complaints against Silverstein today. The County District Attorney’s office intends to file state charges against Silverstein and later confer with federal authorities about whether to prosecute on state or federal charges. The robbery of the campus branch at 13th and Alder occured after 6 p.m., Friday closing time for the bank. The robbery was carried out by a gunman who took a young woman hostage and made her drive him away in her car, police said. The car was forced to stop at 15th and Alder by police cars which were alerted by a bank alarm and telephone call. Several officers rushed to the car after it was forced to stop. The suspect, sitting in the right front seat of the auto, attempted to point a revolver at the officers. According to Police Lt. Kenneth Behrend, he was about to shoot through the driver’s side window when he saw the suspect drop his weapon, a 22-caliber revolver.
