POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (UPI) -- Authorities said they arrested a Pompano
Beach, Fla., bank robbery suspect after he failed to change his pants
following a dye pack explosion in his pocket.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office said Algernon James, 39, was
arrested at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., gas station after a tipster
informed deputies of his location, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel
reported.
Broward Sheriff's Detective Tony Hierrezuelo said James had disguised
himself with fake dreadlocks under a multicolored cap, but he was
still wearing pants stained from a dye pack explosion the day before.
James allegedly robbed a Pompano Beach bank Tuesday and shoved the
stolen cash in his pocket, along with a dye pack that had been
inserted with the loot. Authorities said the dye pack malfunctioned
and failed to explode after the suspect left the bank, but it
detonated about an hour later when James entered a Fort Lauderdale
pawn shop that used a security system similar to that employed by the
bank.
"He never said why he didn't change his pants," Hierrezuelo said.
