PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS -- On May 14, 2010 at approximately 1:30 p.m. Oregon State Police (OSP) spotted a white 2005 Nissan Altima displaying California license plates, which matched the suspected robbery vehicle used by fugitive Tammy Hill and her accomplice. Troopers attempted to stop the car traveling northbound on Interstate 5 near milepost 257. The driver then tried to escape the traffic stop, causing a high speed chase reaching speeds up to 111 mph. The suspect vehicle further avoided an attempt by the Salem police to spike the car's tires. After about two miles the car approached an area where both OSP and Salem police had set up a blockade with numerous spike strips. Traffic had slowed, so the driver pulled to the left shoulder and surrendered. Fugitive Tammy Hill was a passenger in the vehicle. She was then taken into custody without further incident.

A Tammy Hill who was most wanted by the Oregon Financial Institutions Security Task Force (FIST)with five grand reward for information leading to her arrest. Meanwhile, a federal grand jury has charged Hall with the April 30, 2010, robbery of the Bank of America branch located at 8315 SE Sunnyside Road in Clackamas, a suburb of Portland, Oregon.

Additionally, Hall is suspected of robbing three other banks in the Pacific Northwest.

• First Independent Bank, 1408 SE 164th Ave., Vancouver on May 3, 2010
• US Bank, 6407 NE 117th Ave., Vancouver on May 7, 2010
• Bank of the West, 11050 SE McLoughlin Blvd., Milwaukie on May 10, 2010

Those three banks were also robbed by a female bank robber matching Hall's description and the suspected female used the same methodology. Therefore, Hall is believed to have robbed four banks in less than a month. Definitely what can be considered a bank robbery spree. In each instance, a female robber entered the bank, demanded cash and left. No weapon was displayed or seen in any of the robberies.
