This is a wild story that reminds me of an episode of Hawwii-50. Great job by law enforcement to catch this jerk. It’s a good thing he didn’t go to France instead.Daily Mail
Armed police have arrested a man in America at gunpoint, believing he was involved in the fake bomb drama in Australia, which captured the world's attention a fortnight ago.
The unnamed 52-year-old, who is understood to have fled Sydney after the hoax was foiled, was surrounded by a crack team of officers in Louisville last night.
The arrest occurred two weeks after Madeleine Pulver, 18, spent 10 terrifying hours with the fake bomb strapped to her neck at her home in the wealthy Sydney suburb of Mosman.
It was an event that gripped the world as police, unaware that the device around her neck was not a real bomb, worked to remove it from her neck.
Police said yesterday that the man was an Australia but had no relationship to Miss Pulver.
Full details of the dramatic breakthrough in the case are expected to be given by police in Australia later today.
New South Wales police are working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to have the man extradited to Australia.
Miss Pulver's family, including her wealthy father Mr Bill Pulver, an IT specialist, have been informed about the breakthrough.
The incident made international headlines when police were called to the family's harbour-side home, where they found Miss Pulver alone with what appeared to be a sophisticated box-shaped bomb attached to her neck.
