FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas authorities are searching for a man
suspected of holding a 73-year-old woman and her husband hostage and then
trying to force her to rob a bank by strapping a device to her ankle that he
said was a bomb.
Police say Betty Davis told the Fayetteville bank's employees about the
device and everyone left the building safely except her. A bomb squad was
then able to remove the device and it was being tested to see if it really
was dangerous.
Police say Davis said a man had been holding her and her husband hostage at
their Washington County home. Sheriff's deputies found her husband tied up
at home but unharmed.
