Marcos Vela, 20, knocked on a door in the 1100 block of N. Lincoln Street in Santa Maria around 7:40 p.m. When a resident opened the door, Vela rushed inside and threatened the people in the home.

Vela said he had a bomb and was going to blow up the house, according to Santa Maria police. He then grabbed one of the residents and tried to force the others into a bedroom.

The residents managed to restrain Vela while one called 911.

Officers arrested Vela for robbery, kidnapping, burglary and making criminal threats. Prior to taking him to Santa Barbara County Jail, they transported him to a hospital for treatment to injuries he sustained during the struggle.

Well? Was there a bomb? What happened to the bomb? What kind of a bomb was it?


Love these cliffhangers.


Santa Maria… More and more like Tijuana everyday.


DARWIN CANDIDATE!


This is why I answer the door at night with a snub nosed .44 Special in my back pocket.


NEVER give up the location of your conceal carry!

Bust into my house with your loony-toon crap, and you damn well will have to go the hospital for “injuries incurred during the struggle.”
