SPOKANE -- Spokane County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man Friday suspected of robbing a Spokane Valley bank on Thursday.

Deputies say Christopher J. Cook fled the robbery at the American West Bank at 15606 E. Sprague in a black Suzuki with personalized license plates reading, "PC."

Witnesses took note of the license plate and deputies say it was that tip that helped them locate the vehicle, registered to Cook's mother.

Cook was stopped near 29th Ave. and Ray Friday morning around 10:30 a.m. and arrested without incident.

He will be booked into the Spokane County jail on felony first-degree robbery charges.

Yes, the guy is an idiot, but he will be able to vote again someday. The law was changed.
