As reported earlier last week, Crescent City Police Officers along with allied agencies were dispatched to Coast Central Credit Union regarding a robbery in progress at 660 L Street, Crescent City, just after 5:20pm on Friday evening, September 24th.
The suspect fled out of the bank and into the wooded are near the Del Norte County Fairgrounds. During preliminary investigation, officers were able to establish probable cause for the arrest of 36 year old David Schumack.
Just after 12:30pm Sunday afternoon, suspect David Schumack was spotted by an off duty Crescent City Police Officer who was able to keep Schumack in sight while he called dispatch for assistance.
Schumack again attempted to flee from the officers and went into Safeway. A citizen helped by grabbing Schumack’s arm and allowing the Officers to catch up to him.
Schumack was taken into custody without further incident and booked into the Del Norte County Jail for attempted robbery. The case is still being investigated and will be presented to the Del Norte County District Attorney’s Office.
