LAS VEGAS—A Hungarian man accused of robbing a Las Vegas bank with a gun in each hand went straight to a payday lender before crashing his car into a police cruiser and fleeing into a neighborhood where he shot his way into one home and encountered a man who shot at him at another house, according to an arrest report.

A police officer finally wounded Tamas Horvath, 40, in the backyard of a home, and he was arrested following the Saturday afternoon chase several miles west of the Las Vegas Strip. No one else was reported to have been hurt.

"He fired shots and broke into one residence and confronted a second homeowner with a weapon inside that homeowner's residence," said police Officer Bill Cassell, a Las Vegas police spokesman. "We're fortunate that no innocent parties or law enforcement personnel were injured."

Horvath told investigators that he was from Hungary and lived in North Hills, Calif., on expired student and work visas. He said he wanted to pay off a title loan on his car and traveled to Las Vegas last week before donning a cap and gloves and going to the bank Saturday with a .44-caliber revolver and a BB gun, according to the police report.

A teller activated a robbery alarm when he noticed a man pulling a bandana over his face as he walked into the door with a gun in each hand, police said. The robber was gone when police arrived.

Police and the FBI said Horvath made off with $6,555, including a bundle of cash with a

tracking device inside. The sensor led police to Horvath at the lending company, where he crashed his car into a police cruiser and several other vehicles while making a getaway. He drove a short distance, then abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot with a police helicopter circling overhead.

Horvath allegedly fired a shot through a sliding glass door and ran through one house before trying to enter another house. The homeowner in the second house fired two shots at Horvath, who ran to a backyard before he was shot and wounded by police.

Police on Monday identified the officer who wounded Horvath as James Larosa, 29, a four-year department veteran. Larosa was placed on paid leave pending a departmental review of the shooting.

Horvath was hospitalized with injuries that Cassell said did not appear to be life-threatening.

He was scheduled for an initial court appearance Wednesday on multiple felony charges, including robbery with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, burglary, home invasion with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. He could face decades in state prison if convicted. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
