Shaun Damon McArthur, 36, of 1855 Park St. in Harrisburg, appeared before District Judge Daniel Garber Tuesday morning and waived his right to a preliminary hearing. That means the 52 criminal offenses lodged against him are being forwarded to county court.Police said McArthur and Robert Lee, 44, of Harrisburg committed an armed, takeover-style bank robbery at the Peoples Bank, 1477 Carlisle Road, at 12:33 p.m. Oct. 24. The robbers ordered people to the floor at gunpoint, took a gun from a security guard doing business at the bank, and pointed their guns at tellers, police said.The alleged robbers then fled from pursuing officers after a York City patrolman spotted their Jeep on Route 30. During the chase, the people in the Jeep exchanged gunfire numerous times with the officers chasing them north on Interstate 83; no officers were shot, police said.The chase -- which exceeded speeds of 100 mph -- ended when the Jeep, driven by Lee, crashed into a woods off the Highland Park exit of Interstate 83.Lee was found dead at the wheel of a gunshot wound to the head, police said.
