Pizza guy was part of plot, official says
A pizza deliveryman who robbed a bank and was then blown up by a bomb locked around his neck helped plan the robbery and then got caught up in something “much more sinister,” U.S. Atty. Mary Beth Buchanan said in Erie.
The deliveryman, Brian Wells, 46, had told police before the bomb exploded in August 2003 that he was an innocent victim. Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, 58, and her friend Kenneth E. Barnes, 53, were charged with bank robbery, conspiracy and a firearms count. Wells was named as an unindicted co-conspirator.
