SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A robbery suspect was arrested Saturday after allegedly attempting to hold up an East Sacramento bank by claiming a bag containing apple pies was actually a bomb, authorities said.

The Sacramento Police Department said 33-year-old Daniel Hedwood entered the Wells Fargo bank on the 3000 block of Capitol Avenue shortly after 1:15 p.m. and demanded cash from a teller, claiming that a fast-food bag he was holding contained a bomb.

Hegwood fled on foot, leaving the bag behind, but was quickly arrested by officers in a nearby parking garage, police said. Hegwood resisted arrest and again claimed he was in possession of an explosive device, according to authorities.

Bomb technicians inspected the bag inside the bank and determined that the only items inside the bag were two apple pies.

Hegwood was arrested on charges of robbery, resisting arrest and other charges and is being held without bail due to violating his parole.

    “I’ve got apple pies and I’m not afraid to use them !” I wonder if the teller could smell the pies. LOL Just another dumb criminal headed back to prison. Bye-Bye LOSER !!!!

    I can hear his kids, ‘Mommy where is Daddy and the apple pies he was bringing home?” Sorry kids Daddy decided to rob a bank with them instead.
    hmm I wonder can you keep apple pie in the evidence room for very long?

      Only one problem with that… “Home” is actually an extended stay motel in the heights and the kids don’t have to ask that because there’s three other baby daddys in a pinch…

    We’ve got to cut him a break here. He’s just another byproduct of: low income housing assistance, Low income job training, Education assistance, Rent help for low income, Energy bill assistance, free low income health care programs, free or low cost health care clinics, free or low cost dental clinics, free grants from Federal Gov. stimulus, low income legal advice, Section 8 housing, free or low cost food, and the hundreds of other free healthcare, education, housing, and general welfare programs. It’s our money that’s been carrying this so far, and it will be our money that pays for his lawyer and to incarcerate and feed him. I’m not sure the founding fathers envisioned a system like this…are you?

      Well said.

    Now this story takes the cake. No pun intended.

    You have to admit that eating anything from McDonalds may have an explosive effect.

    I guess he is too proud to wash cars, bag groceries or hustle stuff at the Flea Market.

    Instead he has to rob a bank…… What an idiot.

    I wonder if he knows about the 5 year sentence enhancement for using apple pies during the commission of a robbery?

    God forbid this should ever happen to someone in your family. Just keeping making your jokes, without knowing the whole story. Bottom line is, yes he shouldn’t have robbed a bank; he didn’t have any weapons; he is a very mentally sick individual that is not on his medication. That doesn’t make it right; but making jokes all day long about apple pies? Come on, would you have preferred it was a real bomb?

  • Eric

    this is a prejudice statement

    • concerned

      Eric, I agree with you. What do you expect from ignorant people who sit around and make jokes about other people? They have nothing better to do, being so perfect themselves.

  • samson

    Bottom line…Blacks will be Blacks. It’s not Racist. It’s just facts.

  • sassafras

    He just got out of the slammer and has no roof over his head, no money for food , except the pies, its obvious he wanted to get back home in a cell where it is warm and he gets three meals a day. He did not rob the bank or hurt any one, he is a mental case, doesn’t take a genius to figger that out. Samson why don’t you give your racist comments a rest, they are getting older than mathusala.

    He is loved and he will be missed. Mental disease is no laughing matter. We love you Hubby. Forever!

    Eric, I didn’t post this. Some coward who’s afraid to use his own name, used mine. That just goes to show you what ignorant, stupid, cowardly people do!
