A man accused of robbing a Susanville bank and leading authorities on a chase through Reno Friday while driving on the rims of his tires has been identified as Noah David Bodwell, 29, of Sacramento.

Bodwell was captured after a pit maneuver by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office on Interstate 580 just south of the Mount Rose highway. The incident closed the southbound I-580 lanes from just after 7 p.m. until about 10 p.m. August 10, 2018.

The Susanville Police Department received a report Friday of a robbery at the U.S. Bank in the 900 block of Main Street about 5:55 p.m. A man got money from a teller and left before police arrived.

He drove a white Ford truck and was described as white, wearing a green shirt and having a beard or facial hair. Police also got a partial license plate and an officer identified the vehicle in the Walmart and tried to pull over the vehicle, the police department said in a statement.

As the driver left Susanville, the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office and California Highway Patrol took over the chase. It continued down U.S. 395 until it reached Nevada, where the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office took over.

Initial reports were that there were several crashes during the incident, but Washoe Sheriff's spokesman Bob Harmon says the only crashes were between the law enforcement vehicles and the suspect vehicle.
