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.
