A 39-year-old man allegedly robbed a Southeast Portland adult video store at gunpoint, fled and was later found by police hiding on the roof of a home about two miles away early Friday, authorities say.



Michael K. Swaggart eventually came off the rooftop near Southeast 73rd Avenue and Martins Street and was arrested on suspicion of first-degree robbery. An investigation is underway to determine if he is linked to any other recent robberies in the Portland area, Portland police said.



Officers responded about 3 a.m. to the Fantasyland adult video store on Southeast Foster Road to investigate the armed robbery, police said. Officers later found an SUV that witnesses had spotted fleeing the scene near Southeast 72nd Avenue and Woodstock Boulevard.



The SUV had been reported stolen in Southeast Portland on Feb. 9, police said.



As the female driver slowed down, Swaggart jumped out of the SUV and ran away, police said. The driver surrendered but was later released without being charged.



A helicopter and police dogs were used to help search for Swaggart. After he was arrested, officers seized cash and a handgun found in the backyard of a nearby home, police said.



Police ask anyone with more information about Swaggart to contact Detective Ken Reynolds at 503-823-0407 or kenneth.reynolds@portlandoregon.gov.
