TAMPA, Fla. – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man who claimed to have a bomb inside his bag at a Walmart in Tampa, officials said.
After deputies interviewed Woodward, the bag was searched by HCSO deputies.
Woodard was arrested for a false report of a bomb, explosive or weapon of mass destruction.
Marcus Woodard’s statement was especially concerning because just last weekend our deputies arrested a woman who was building a bomb inside another Walmart in our area,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister.
“By now, we all realize as a society that falsely reporting a bomb or a bomb threat is neither funny nor appropriate.
