Kelso, Washington



From Portland, Oregon’s KPTV.com of January 5, 2005
UPDATE: Citizen nabs bank robbery suspect



Deputies have a bank robbery suspect in custody after some quick thinking by a Kelso man.



Cowlitz County deputies got a call from the resident in the 4400 block of Kalama River Road just after reporting they had a person matching the bank robbery suspect on their property. The homeowner held the person at gunpoint until deputies arrived.



The suspect was been identified as Steven W. Driffill, 56 years of West Valley Utah.



Driffill is suspected of robbing a bank in Northeast Portland Tuesday, then leading officers on a chase into Clark Couty, when he disappeared near Kalama. Driffill is also a suspect in two other bank robberies in Oregon.



He was soaking wet and armed with a pistol at the time he was arrested. Police think he was in the Kalama River shortly before being taken in to custody.
