COLUMBUS, Ohio – A bank robbery suspect learned a painful lesson: Never shove stolen money containing an explosive dye pack down your pants.
Shortly after the National City Bank downtown was robbed Thursday, police spotted John Gladney, 40, about a block away, walking strangely, in obvious pain.
Officers stopped Gladney and discovered he had been injured when the dye pack exploded near his groin, said Sgt. Brent Mull, police spokesman.
Gladney was charged with aggravated robbery.
