Sacramento police have found no bombs despite threats from a man arrested after he allegedly robbed a Wells Fargo branch this afternoon.
Instead, they found stolen cash, a few of the suspect’s personal belongings and a couple apple pies from McDonald’s, according to police.
The suspect went inside the bank, at Capitol Avenue and Alhambra Boulevard, early this afternoon and demanded cash, threatening that he had a bomb inside a package that he placed in front of the teller, said police Sgt. Andrew Pettit.
He fled on foot with a “substantial” amount of cash as people in the bank called police. Arriving officers quickly found the suspect hiding in a nearby parking garage, Pettit said.
The suspect fought with officers, and threatened that he had a bomb in a backpack he was carrying, Pettit said.
Police evacuated the bank and called out the bomb squad to inspect the backpack and a package that was left inside the bank.
Officers ultimately determined that the package inside the bank was a McDonald’s bag with apple pies inside, Pettit said, and inside the man’s backpack police found the stolen cash and some personal belongings.
Police have not yet released the suspect’s name, and detectives remain on scene processing it for evidence.
You know, there are some people that can rob banks and get away with. But there are also some people that should just think of a batter ways to get money. This Twat is one of the latter. I mean, yes, eating McDonald’s everyday will eventually kill you, but you cannot kill with McDonald’s.
Not only does he have a terrible plan to rob the bank with apple pies as weapons, but he also had a terrible escape plan. Hide in a nearby parking garage? Come on dude, at least have some sort of get away car, bike or segway. Don’t just hide in some piss smelling parking deck with a bag full of cash and a bag of bombs (apple pies!) like they wouldn’t come find you.
This guy must have been smoking something really good because not only did he have a bag full of apple pies, but he also had one of the worst robbery plans I have ever seen.
