Paul Lewis Bradley, a 60-year old of Herbert Davis has been arrested after police launched a manhunt following the unlawful holding of Betty and Herbert Davis couple Fayetteville Police Chief Greg Tabor said.
Paul Bradley was arrested on charges of aggravated burglary, theft of property, aggravated robbery and two counts of kidnapping for breaking into an elderly couple’s home and forcing Betty Davis a 73-year-old Arkansas woman to rob a bank with a bomb strapped to her ankle.
Paul Lewis Bradley held Betty Davis captive until Herbert Davis arrived duct-taped him to a barstool then strapped the alleged bomb to Betty Davis’s ankle.
Bradley told the couple wanted money, herded Betty in a car and asked her to drive to a bank where she told away about the ankle bomb which was not.
Bank employees called in police who evacuated the building only to realize the device was not a bomb. Betty had been warned by Bradley that he had a detonator for the alleged explosive.
