SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A 42-year-old woman charged in one Oregon bank robbery was arrested Friday several hours after another heist following an Interstate 5 police chase that topped 110 mph.

Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings says Tammy Lynn Hall and an unidentified man were arrested on I-5 in Salem after a trooper spotted a car linked to a Friday noon Chase Bank robbery in Eugene.

Hall has been charged in the April 30 robbery of a Bank of America branch in Clackamas, Ore.

Police say three other recent bank robberies were committed by a woman matching Hall’s description. Two of those robberies were in Vancouver, Wash.

Hall is believed to be from California. The FBI had offered a reward of as much as $5,000 for information leading to her arrest and conviction.
