A Sacramento man was arrested Saturday following a robbery at the Bank of America branch at 325 E St. and a pursuit through downtown Davis.
Davis police Sgt. Trevor Edens said Eugene Lemasters, 56, of Sacramento was being transported to the Yolo County Jail on Saturday evening, facing charges of robbery and evading police officers.
The robbery — which Edens said included the use of a simulated weapon — occurred at 11:50 a.m.
Police quickly discovered the suspect in a nearby vehicle, Edens said, and a pursuit ensued, with the suspect stopping and surrendering to police minutes later near the intersection of Eighth Street and Sweetbriar Road.
Edens could not provide additional details on what type of simulated weapon was used or how much money was taken during the robbery, but said no one was injured and Lemasters was taken into custody without incident following the pursuit.
