Soldier Tried Fake Mouth-bomb In Heist
I promise baby, not in your mouth
TUCSON - An Army sergeant based at Fort Huachuca walked into a bank Monday, his mouth covered in duct tape, and presented a note saying he had a bomb in his mouth, police said.
The officers "rushed the suspect," took him into custody, walked him to a metal rail fence away from other people, handcuffed him to one of the rails and backed away. They recognized him by the tape on his mouth, Robinson said."
It was very brave (of the officers) to separate him from the public," he said. "They really were faced with a situation that they had to take immediate action on and they made the choice to put themselves in harm's way."
A bomb squad robot removed the tape. Robinson said once the tape was taken off, Lewis spat out an unidentified object, which was not an explosive device.
Lewis has admitted that the bomb threat was hoax, Officer Dallas Wilson said. He also admitted to a Jan. 22 robbery attempt at the same bank, police said.
