Police arrest Fife bank robber after bomb scare

Posted by John de Leon

Police in Fife have arrested a man who robbed a Bank of America branch this morning.

The man gave a teller a note indicating he had a bomb. For some reason, the robber didn't leave the bank, but employees and customers were allowed to leave. One witness reportedly told police the man instructed bank employees to call police.

The man was arrested a short time later after Fife police and Pierce County sheriff's deputies surrounded the bank. Police are now trying to determine whether a package left behind by the man was a bomb, according to Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff's Office.

Iguana4, This isn't written any more poorly than your post. Secondly, this wasn't in Seattle or even in the same county for that...  Posted on June 30, 2009 at 12:00 PM by Experienced Simpleton. Jump to comment
