The man accused of holding up a Lewiston Orchards bank in December pleaded innocent in 2nd District Court Tuesday to one count of robbery.
Christopher S. Braden will go to trial on the charge April 8. Judge Ida Rudolph Leggett will preside.
Braden, 23, whose home is listed in court records as Michigan, is accused of entering First Federal Bank with an accomplice Dec. 28 and holding a shotgun on bank employees while the other man emptied two cash drawers.
Police were given a description of the suspects' vehicle and a high-speed chase began on U.S. Highway 95 near the Flying J truck stop.
The pursuit ended on Main Street in Ferdinand, where suspect Kenneth Hamilton of Boise was killed in a shoot-out with Idaho State Police troopers.
Braden, who allegedly ran from the vehicle before shots were fired, was found hiding nearby. Police say he had more than $11,000 stuffed into the front of his jacket.
At a preliminary hearing held Jan. 10, two bank employees identified Braden as the man who robbed the bank.
He is being held in the Nez Perce County Jail in lieu of $750,000 bail.
