[EVENTS OF BANK ROBBERY]

Brian Wells, a 47 year old high school drop out, worked as a pizza delivery man for Mama Mia's Pizzeria in Erie, Pennsylvania. Brian lived alone with 3 cats. His landlord called him the perfect tenant. His boss said he only recalled Brian calling off of work one time, which was when a cat of his had died.

On the evening of August 23, 2003, Mama Mia's Pizzeria received an order Brian took it. It was close to the end of his shift. he delivered it to 8631 Peach Street, an address a few miles from the pizzeria. The address was WSEE-TV's transmitting tower at the end of a dirt road. What exactly happened between when he got there and the next event isn't entirely known.

Around 2:30 pm Brian pulled into the PNC Bank on Peach Street and give the teller an affixed note demanding $250,000, and to use his shotgun, that was shaped like a cane, to threaten anyone who was not co-operating or attempting to flee. Although he never actually attempted to use it even when he saw people leave.

Wells slid the note to a teller. The note stated that in fifteen minutes the bomb would explode and that the full amount must be handed over within that time. Unable to access the vault that quickly, the teller gave Wells a bag with $8,702 in it, with which he exited the bank. At 2:38, a witness called 9-1-1 from the bank and reported a male leaving the bank with "a bomb or something wrapped around his neck."
