Prestonsburg BB&T Bank Evacuated
KENTUCKY....
Prestonsburg Police say the BB&T Bank branch located in the Glynnview Plaza near the Mountain Arts Center was evacuated at 2:00 P.M. Wednesday afternoon after 49 year old Jonathan Hall of David entered the bank several times wearing a dress and claiming to have a gun and dynamite. Police say he first walked into the bank and asked about opening a safety deposit box. When the bank informed him they do not have safety deposit boxes, he left the bank and then entered it a second time asking to open a checking account. Police say Hall was carrying a purse filled with dynamite, but it was not armed and was not able to detonate. Authorities say Hall told them his wife has cancer and he just lost his job. He was arrested and taken to the Pike County Detention Center and FBI officials are investigating.
