Armed Robber Arrested 1 Week After Escaping Police

OREGON CITY, OR — A Hillsboro man suspected of armed robbery in Oregon City earlier this month was arrested by Portland police Thursday and turned over to Oregon City law enforcement.

Jacob Daniel Bundy, 33, was taken to Clackamas County Jail and charged with robbery, menacing and theft. His bail is set at $262,500. Additionally, Bundy is being held on a parole violation.

Bundy's arrest came one week after he allegedly conducted an armed robbery at the Oregon City Fred Meyer, 1839 Molalla Ave., just after 12 p.m. March 14.

Bundy fled in a silver Nissan Cube before police arrived, but officers tracked him down a short while later traveling north on Interstate-205 near Gladstone.

The officer tried to pull over Bundy, but he wasn't having it and instead chose to lead police on a chase into Portland; Bundy was able to ditch his car near Southeast 93rd Avenue and Southeast Duke Street — roughly 11 miles north of the Fred Meyer — and successfully escape on foot.

Even though he was able to get away, Bundy was ultimately identified as the robbery suspect upon further investigation, Oregon City police officials said.

Portland police on March 22 found and arrested Bundy, who incidentally has a considerable criminal history rife with charges for assault, possession of various controlled substances, menacing, and harassment.
