Police say the woman, who was about 60-years-old, placed a cloth bag on the counter of the Fifth Third Bank just before 11:30am and demanded money from the teller saying there was a bomb inside the bag. “It did look like there was a hard object in there,” Clinton Township Lt. Eric Reincke said.
“But it was folded over so you couldn’t see what was inside.” Bank employees left and the Michigan State Police bomb squad scanned the bag. “It turned out that it was a couple of cans of spaghetti sauce inside the bag,” Reincke said.
“If you don’t know what’s in a package… you have to treat it like it is possibly an explosive device.” The woman left in a silver, older style boxy-car driven by a man, police said. Nobody was injured and it’s not clear how much money she got away with.

It is sad that the economy is so bad that a 60-year-old woman feels as though she has to rob a bank to get by. How she missed the gravy train that is welfare, I'll never know.
That's quite sad for granny.
It was spaghetti sauce, not gravy.
