[quote]SEATTLE -- Seattle police arrested a man who alarmed people downtown Friday morning by walking around with a suspicious device strapped to his body, claiming to be a vampire and making threats.
Seattle police responded to numerous calls shortly after 8 a.m. and closed off the area around Third Avenue and James Street near the King County Courthouse.
"He's a very disturbed person," says Shelly Johnson, a woman who says she witnessed the man, in his 40s, walk into Seattle's Union Gospel Mission with the contraption around his body. "He had black duct tape all around his body and something metal on his hand."
"This man came in claimed to be a vampire and wanted food which he explained was people," said Mission director Mike Johnson. The workers asked the man to leave, and that's when Johnson says the man took off his jacket. "He brandished what appeared to be a pipe bomb and wanted someone to take it off of his arm. We all just sort of looked at each other with wide eyes and the guy just ran up here to the courthouse."
A nearby apartment resident, Justin Anderson, said he saw the man walking down the street, pacing in circles and playing with tape that held the pipe to his arm.
"I was enjoying a leisurely morning," the 29-year-old student said. "Then something more interesting happened."
A Seattle SWAT team quickly arrived at the scene and surrounded the man at Third Avenue and Yesler Way, about a block from the courthouse. SWAT Members pointed their weapons at the suspect, ordering him to put his hands behind his head.
"We corraled him with officers and he did what we asked of him," says Seattle Police spokesperson Sean Whitcomb.
The negotiations and arrest all went down in front of Drexel Grocery.
"It was really a long process so we were kind of anxious about what was going to happen we were thinking we were going to die or something," said store clerk Daniel Hwang.
The man laid down on the sidewalk. By 9:15 a.m., Seattle police had the suspect in custody. No injuries were reported.
Police later determined the device, which was a metal pipe with metal endcaps and wires protruding from it, was not a bomb.[/quote]Source :[URL]http://www.krem.com/news/northwest-news/Self-proclaimed-vampire-brings-out-Seattle-SWAT-87520367.html[/URL]
