An Auburn man is facing robbery charges in southwestern Montana,

According to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, prosecutors allege that Kenneth Michael Lohman grabbed a woman’s purse in a Belgrade grocery store parking lot and that his accomplice sped off with the woman’s arm still inside the vehicle as she tried to retrieve her purse.

A Montana Highway Patrol trooper’s attempt to stop the vehicle near Three Forks led to a high-speed chase that ended near Cardwell.

Prosecutors have charged Lohman’s codefendant, Joshua Norman Bolton of Spokane, with driving the getaway car during the attempted robbery. Bolton has pleaded not guilty to robbery by accountability.
