Out of prison for just over three weeks, Mark E. White chose the wrong car to try to hitch a ride with on Wednesday.
Just two blocks from the Citizens Bank at 2815 E. Genesee in Saginaw that he allegedly robbed five minutes earlier, White, 50, flagged down Saginaw Township Detective Scott Jackson of the auto theft division for a ride.
Jackson slowed his car enough to allow city patrol officer Ian Wegner enough time to provide backup, and a little more than three weeks after he was released from prison on parole, White was back in police custody.
The officers arrested White, 50, three blocks from the bank shortly after the 2:30 p.m. robbery.
As White saw Wegner getting closer, he tried opening Jackson's passenger door without permission. After Jackson told White he was a police officer, White tried to flee before Wegner apprehended him.
