Police make arrest after Thursday bank robbery; man was still stained with ink dye

SANTA CRUZ — A man suspected in three bank robberies in the county this year was arrested during the weekend, police reported.

James Archuleta, 29, was still stained with red ink from a dye pack hidden in the last bundle of money he stole from a bank when officers took him into custody at an Ocean Street motel Friday night.

Police said Archuleta confessed to holding up the Comerica Bank on Soquel Avenue twice — most recently on Thursday afternoon — and robbing the Monterey County Credit Union on 41st Avenue.
