A felon with prior convictions for drug possession, attempting to elude police, theft, auto theft, burglary, forgery, possession of stolen property, and "at least 45 misdemeanor convictions" is now facing charges for allegedly committing five bank robberies in the Seattle area in the last two months, all while he was supposed to be on court-ordered electronic home monitoring.

According to charging documents, Jason Belisle, 39, was released from jail pending charges in April, after he allegedly sold cocaine to a police officer,  and was to be put on an electronic home monitoring system, which would track his movement, while 

Court records say Belisle never set up the monitoring equipment at his home and then failed to show up for an April court appearance. Then, prosecutors say, Belisle began his crime spree.

Over the next few weeks, Belisle allegedly hit five banks, including a Key Bank downtown on April 19th, the US Bank in SoDo on April 21st, a Chase Bank in Bellevue on April 26th—three days before Belisle's 39th birthday—another Key Bank in the University District on May 4th, and a Bank of America in West Seattle on May 5th.

All told, prosecutors say Belisle made off with almost $15,000. However, his streak ended when a witness at the scene of the West Seattle robbery copied down the license plate of Belisle's alleged getaway car, a green Honda Accord.

Several hours after the robbery, state troopers tried to pull the green Honda Accord over in Tukwila.
The driver—which turned out to be Belisle's girlfriend—tried to elude police, but ended up crashing near SeaTac. Belisle fled on foot, and police took is girlfriend into custody.

When police interviewed Belisle's 27-year-old girlfriend, she confirmed that her boyfriend was the suspect in the robberies, but said had become an unwitting accomplice.

The woman told police she had driven Belisle around, thinking he was dropping off drugs, when in fact he was out robbing banks.

The woman told police that Belisle was staying at a motel in SeaTac, and officers arrested him after another short chase.

Records say Belisle admitted to committing the robberies, and he's now cooling his heels in the King County Jail.
