Parolee Arrested Saturday on Suspicion of Robbing Chase

A parolee is in custody in connection with robbing the Chase bank on the 900 block of El Camino Real.

Rashad Amir Dorsey, 27, is accused of passing a note to the bank teller claiming to have a weapon and an incendiary device, said Orange County Sheriff spokesman Jim Amormino.

Dorsey, who allegedly robbed the bank shortly before 10 a.m., made off with an undisclosed amount of cash that included a red dye pack, designed to mark potential theives.

Amormino said sheriff's deputies found Dorsey within a half hour. He was hiding in the laundry room of an apartment complex near the intersection of Canada and Estrella.

Amormino said deputies recovered the cash from the suspect's backpack.
