Investigators could tell that it had been built using professional tools. The hinged collar locked around Wells' neck like a giant handcuff. The device consisted of two parts: a triple-banded metal collar with four keyholes and a three-digit combination lock, and an iron box containing two 6-inch pipe bombs loaded with double-base smokeless powder. The bomb itself was likewise a marvel of DIY design and construction. In Wells' car, they discovered the 2-foot-long cane, which turned out to be an ingeniously crafted homemade gun. The police began sorting through a trove of physical evidence. The bomb squad arrived three minutes later. The pizza deliveryman took a few last gasps and died on the pavement. Boom! The device detonated, blasting him violently onto his back and ripping a 5-inch gash in his chest. It looked like he was trying to scoot backward, to somehow escape the bomb strapped to his neck. Suddenly, the device started to emit an accelerating beeping noise. 'Did you call my boss?' Wells asked a trooper at one point, apparently concerned that his employer would think he was shirking his duties. For 25 minutes Wells remained seated on the pavement, his legs curled beneath him.

TV camera crews arrived and began filming. 'I'm not lying.' The officers called the bomb squad and took positions behind their cars, guns drawn. 'It's gonna go off!' he told them in desperation. Wells told the troopers that while out on a delivery he had been accosted by a group of black men who chained the bomb around his neck at gunpoint and forced him to rob the bank. Some 15 minutes later, state troopers spotted Wells standing outside his Geo Metro in a nearby parking lot, surrounded him, and tossed him to the pavement, cuffing his hands behind his back. Wells walked out, sucking on a Dum Dum lollipop he grabbed from the counter, hopped into his car, and drove off. The teller, who told Wells there was no way to get into the vault at that time, filled a bag with cash-$8,702-and handed it over. 'You have only 15 minutes.' Then he lifted his shirt to reveal a heavy, boxlike device dangling from his neck. 'Gather employees with access codes to vault and work fast to fill bag with $250,000,' it said. Wells, 46 and balding, passed the teller a note. He had a short cane in his right hand and a strange bulge under the collar of his T-shirt. At 2:28 pm on August 28, 2003, a middle-aged pizza deliveryman named Brian Wells walked into a PNC Bank in Erie, Pennsylvania.
