Lake Worth suspect calls 911: ‘I’m sitting near Walmart with an explosive and I’m armed’
SUMMARY: Last week, a bomb scare in Lake Worth prompted a swift response from police after a man, Donald Mark Scott, reported having explosives while inside a Walmart. Scott, recently released from prison, intended to return by making a terroristic threat, which led to local, state, and federal agencies tracking him. He abandoned two suspicious backpacks filled with tools and electronic devices. Fortunately, neither bag posed a real explosion threat. Scott was apprehended without incident and is now in custody at the county jail with his combined bond set at $55,000. His actions stemmed from a desire to return to prison.
The man who allegedly left two suspicious items near Lake Worth businesses last week called 911 to report himself and “hurry things along.”
