Late yesterday, a community member saw the photo of the bank robber on a local news story and informed deputies that he was staying at a hotel in Forest Grove. Deputies contacted the person at the hotel and arrested him.
On Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at 8:32 p.m., a community member called non-emergency dispatch and reported they saw a news story on the bank robbery and knew the man was staying at America’s Best Value Inn & Suites in Forest Grove. Officers from Forest Grove Police Department and deputies from the Sheriff’s Office and Cornelius Police Department went to the motel and contacted the man, 70-year-old Craig Haberman, outside of his hotel room and arrested him.
Haberman was transported to the Washington County Jail and lodged on two outstanding warrants – one for an unrelated bank robbery.
The investigation of yesterday’s bank robbery in Cornelius is being transferred to the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office and Cornelius Police Department would like to thank the community for their help in locating Haberman.
