If he was telling the truth, his family will own that police department in court.

Erie FBI Special Agent Bob Rudge said investigators are confident they will soon solve the mystery behind the bizarre bombing death of Brian Wells.
Rudge met for nine hours on Saturday with a multi-agency task force that included law-enforcement officials from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Pennsylvania State Police, the Erie County District Attorney's Office and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"We are looking into every facet of the incident and are conducting a complete, thorough and meticulous investigation," Rudge said Saturday night.
The task force will resume its investigation this morning when they meet at Erie's FBI office, 717 State St.
Remnants of the bomb that killed Wells Thursday afternoon on upper Peach Street were flown out of Erie Saturday to the FBI lab in Quantico, W. Va.
"We don't know yet as to why the bomb detonated or how it detonated," Rudge said. "That will be the focus when we get the forensics back from Quantico."
Rudge did not say when results of those tests would be available.
Wells, a 46-year-old pizza delivery man from Millcreek, told police he had been forced to rob the PNC Bank in Summit Towne Centre and asked authorities to help him minutes before a bomb strapped to his chest exploded and killed him.
Wells had left Mama Mia's Pizza-Ria, 5154 Peach St., to deliver two pizzas to a location at 8631 Peach St., a remote and rural area that leads to a television transmission tower.
No arrests have been made in the case, and authorities have not identified anyone as suspects.
WJET-TV captured audio and video from Wells as he sat handcuffed in front of a state police cruiser in an upper Peach Street business driveway.
"Why is nobody trying to come get this thing off me?" Wells asked police. "It's going to go off. I'm not lying."
Rudge said the bomb appeared to have hung from Wells' neck. Rudge declined to comment on the specifics of the bomb.
No one else was hurt in Thursday's explosion, which happened in front of law enforcement officers as they waited for a bomb squad to arrive.
Rudge said Wells entered the PNC bank and produced an "extensive note" demanding money and saying he had a bomb. Rudge would not provide any details about the note. Rudge also would not say if any money was recovered at the scene.
"We are confident, through what is an ongoing and extremely elaborate investigation, that we will solve this," Rudge said Saturday night.
Results from an autopsy performed Friday on Wells were not available Saturday. Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook was out of town Saturday and could not be reached for comment.
For those traumatized by the incident, the American Red Cross has assembled its Disaster Mental Health team to visit Peach Street businesses in the vicinity of the bombing.
Psychiatrists Bob Dowling and Judith Fair, among the team's members, left information at various businesses to help employees and others understand their reactions to traumatic events.

Police: Co-worker of man killed in bank robbery blast dies at home
August 31, 2003
A friend and co-worker of a pizza deliveryman killed when a bomb on his chest exploded after a bank robbery died at home Sunday, but there was no obvious connection between the deaths, police said.
However, because the 43-year-old unidentified man worked with Brian Douglas Wells, who died Thursday after he told police he had been forced to rob a bank, a bomb squad was canvassing his parent's house in Lawrence Park Township as a precaution, Erie state police Cpl. Mark Zaleski said.
"There was nothing overtly obvious as to the cause of his death," Zaleski said, "but because there's a relationship between the two individuals, we are over there."
Police received a 911 call for medical assistance around 5 a.m. at the home, where the man lived with his parents, but he refused medical assistance, Zaleski said. A few hours later, authorities were called again after his parents found him unresponsive, and he was pronounced dead at the home at about 9:45 a.m., Zaleski said.
An autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death. No other details were immediately available Sunday.
Federal agents and police in northwestern Pennsylvania were still trying to solve the case of 46-year-old Wells, who told police he had been forced to rob a bank minutes before the bomb on his chest exploded. No one else was injured in the explosion.
FBI Special Agent Bob Rudge said agents were still chasing leads but said there was no reason to connect the man's death to Wells' case.
There was no answer at the pizza shop where both men worked. The coroner's office did not immediately return a message.
