SILVERDALE, Wash. (AP) — A woman accused of demanding money from a KeyBank branch in Silverdale, Wash., and threatening to blow up the building has been taken into custody.
Kitsap County sheriff’s Deputy Scott Wilson said wires were protruding from the woman’s clothes Thursday afternoon but bomb squad experts and bomb-sniffing dogs found no explosives. No one was injured.
Wilson says bank employees put the woman in touch with a police negotiator and left the bank. Deputies, SWAT units and the Washington State Patrol bomb squad surrounded the bank on the Kitsap Peninsula west of Seattle.
After a 90-minute standoff, officers escorted a 34-year-old Bremerton woman from the bank.
The Kitsap Sun says nearby businesses were evacuated during the standoff.
