U.S. marshals notified Big Island police that Michael Kirk Foley, also known as Michael Foley-Long, was arrested for bank robbery in East Portland, Ore., and is being held on federal charges.

Big Island police were looking for Foley for trying to take a shopping cart full of food and other items from a Hilo grocery store.

Police said Foley had lived in Keaau on the Big Island for about three to four years and is originally from Utah.

When an employee tried to stop him, he got into a pickup truck and allegedly drove toward the employee, police said.

He was wanted for theft and reckless endangering.
