A homeless man allegedly held up a Clackamas-area bank Friday, demanded $1, then sat down and waited for police to arrive.
Timothy Dean Alsip, 50, was arrested without incident by Clackamas County sheriff's deputies. He was booked into the Clackamas County Jail on suspicion of second-degree robbery with bail set at $250,000.
Alsip is set to be arraigned Monday in Clackamas County Circuit Court.
Deputy Mark Nikolai, sheriff's office spokesman, said a man entered the Bank of America branch, 9171 S.E. 82nd Ave., at 10:20 a.m. and approached a teller.
"He handed over a note saying 'This is a hold up. Give me a dollar,'" Nikolai said. After receiving $1, he "had a seat in the lobby."
Alsip, who told police he had no permanent address, does not have a criminal record in Oregon.
Nikolai said deputies determined that Alsip sought to be arrested so he could get medical care. He said Alsip exhibited strange behavior over the past week, including flagging down citizens so they would call 911. Nikolai said Alsip also called 911 himself to complain of various imaginary problems such as being hit by a car, suffering from dental pain and overdosing on drugs.
"His behavior today is consistent with the behavior he has displayed over the last week," Nikolai said.
Nikolai urged anyone with information about Alsip or the incident to call the sheriff's confidential tip line at 503-723-4949. Confidential text messages can be sent to CRIMES (274637 on a cell phone keypad), with the keyword "CCSO" as the first word in the message.
