EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Police in Eugene, Ore., say a bus driver helped them arrest a bank robbery suspect.

Officers alerted LTD bus drivers last Friday afternoon to a description of a man sought after the robbery of a U.S. Bank branch.

KEZI reports that one driver saw a man matching that description changing clothes in the back of his bus, so he flagged down a bicycle officer for help.

Police arrested a 39-year-old Springfield man.
