The robbery ended with the hostage being freed by police and the robber fleeing. He was arrested in Olympia that night with two bullet wounds from the incident.
Michael Lar, 57, also is facing a variety of charges stemming from another robbery at the same credit union last year. The prosecutor’s office says it is pursuing the charge just in case the latest conviction is overturned on appeal.
