CARNE AND QUESO
TRUE URBAN MYTHS
THE PIZZA DELIVERY BOMB-COLLAR INCIDENT

In Erie, Pennsylvania on August 28, 2003 at about 1:30 p.m., someone used a pay phone to order two pizzas for delivery to a remote TV tower site. Brian Douglas Wells left for the delivery and never returned to work.






At about 2:20 p.m., Wells entered a bank with a shotgun-cane and presented the teller with a demand note for $250,000. He walked out about 12 minutes later with $8,702. Wells was stopped by police as he left. He told the police that someone had attached a timed bomb-collar to his neck and forced him to rob the bank.







A note found on Wells had instructions for him to carry out four tasks—the first of which was the bank robbery—in a set period of time before the bomb went off. Wells would gain extra time with the completion of each task. The collar exploded before police technicians arrived to remove the collar.




The rest of the story is too convoluted and took too many plot twists for me to continue and find pertinent pictures. Needless too say this is my favorite horrifying yet true news story I have ever read.
