East Precinct cop boss nabs Cap Hill bank robbery suspect

Captain McDonagh

Central District News delivers the goods from this month's East Precinct community crime prevention meeting:

[Wednesday] there was a bank robbery at the Chase Bank at Pike & Broadway. The man walked in, made threats, and was given a bag of cash. That bag also contained an exploding dye pack, which went off soon after. The East Precinct's Captain McDonagh happened to be just a block away and responded to the scene, spotted the dye-stained suspect, and made the arrest.

The bank is on Broadway just south of Pike under the Harvard QFC escalator was formally a Washington Mutual outlet.

We'll make a few calls in the a.m. to see what else we can dig up on Captain Paul McDonagh's handiwork.
