Man Robs Bank with Sack of McDonald’s Apple Pies He Said Was a Bomb–Wait What!?!

Man Robs Bank with McDonalds Apple Pies

One Sacramento bankrobber will not be able to attempt to justify his crime as a means to pay for food. Police say Daniel Hegwood walked into a Wells Fargo bank in downtown Sacremento with a bag of hot McDonald’s apple pies that he told the teller was a bomb.

“The suspect left a package at one of the teller windows and said there was a bomb inside. He got cash from the teller and fled on foot,” Sacremento police spokesman Andrew Pettit told KCRA.

Hegwood left behind the fast food bag at the bank, only to be spotted by police one block away. Police say they noticed money “protruding” from Hegwood’s backpack. As officers tried to take Hegwood into custody, he claimed there was an explosive inside his backpack

KCRA reports that police setup a perimeter and bomb technicians searched the backpack, only to find money and items belonging to Hegwood.

Now if had been a Big Mac it would have been a bomb, a cholesterol bomb.

  Their old deep fried ones were the best, the baked ones are just OK. But I want one too.

Mmmm guessing the charges will be fake bomb scare, and the theft itself – unarmed. Ya, he’ll be in just long enough to learn how to hide the money better next time.

  I think all prisoner conversations should be monitored, and any crimes or advice on how to commit them passed along, should result in isolation for gradually increasing durations on each offense – also depending on the situation, sentence extensions.

The only logical course of action is to ban McDonald’s apple pies.

Why would you have to rob a bank when you have a whole sack full of mcdonald’s apple pies? That’s a fortune of delicious goodness.

  You know, a sack of double cheeseburgers tossed on the floor in front of the guards probably would have bought enough time to pull of the robbery and eliminated the possibility of a guard getting a good ID on the perp.

  Bazinga? Ah, a Big Banger! Is that you Sheldon? Is it true you once got punched in teh face by Bill Gates after you told him that if he weren’t so distracted by sick children in Africa, he could have put a little more thought into Windows Vista?

I don’t know about you guys, but I do remember as a child getting one of those luscious, deep fried apple and cinnamon pies before it had cooled enough and when I bit into it I found out it was a lava bomb. It burnt my mouth, my hands, fingers, legs, the rear seat in our old Malibu Wagon, the carpet, floorboard, and then descended into a melted hole in the pavement until it reached the underground water table and began producing wild levels of steam and a new local geyser that was used to power a small community outside of Spring, Tx for 12 years… Had that same scenario happened 20 years later, I’d have been a millionaire several times over just from personal damages alone… Look, all I’m saying is that Mickey D’s freshly fried apple pies can be “weaponized”. That’s all. It could happen.

  I guess you haven’t seen the news lately: Obama’s new “Detainee Ballot.” No need to release them.

Speaking from personal experience, those McDonald’s pies are a “bomb”, but they only go off in the privacy of one’s bathroom, about 24hrs after consumption.

Moochele Obama says Apple pies are just as destructive as bombs so maybe he got confused
