Suspect in wild crime spree is accused of more violence

Posted: Updated:
VANCOUVER, WA (KPTV) -

The suspect in a two-state crime spree is now accused of even more violence and threats.

Police said Brent Woodall took them on a chase from Vancouver to Portland on Wednesday.

That's when police said he held up two Washington banks, tried to carjack several cars, and then led officers on a wild chase into Portland. That's where cops cuffed him and took him to jail.

A newly released arrest warrant details the first bank robbery.

Investigators said Woodall handed the teller a note claiming to have three weapons and threatening to kill her if she didn't follow his instructions.

The warrant also revealed that after speeding off, the bank robber crashed into another car.

The other driver had to be rushed to the hospital and told deputies he felt lucky to be alive.
