Investigators said Peterson entered the Columbia Bank on 3rd St. June 16th and demanded cash. He successfully got away with an undisclosed amount of money.   Peterson was arrested a short time later in Stayton.

The judge noted this week while Peterson while “polite” during the robbery, his actions still constituted a crime. In addition to the 30 months in prison, Peterson was ordered to serve 24 months post-prison supervision.
