The cops wouldn't believe him. They were just as guilty as bad guys.

In 2003, pizza deliveryman Brian Wells was lured to a remote spot in Erie, Pennsylvania, where conspirators strapped a live collar bomb to his neck and sent him to rob a bank under the guise of a scavenger hunt to save his life; after stealing $8,700, he was captured by police, but the bomb detonated and killed him on live TV. Investigators later found he had limited involvement in the plan but was ultimately betrayed. The scheme was masterminded by Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong and accomplices Kenneth Barnes and William Rothstein, whose motives centered on money and personal debts. Diehl-Armstrong was sentenced to life, Barnes to 45 years, and Rothstein died before trial. The bizarre case—part bank heist, part murder—remains infamous as the “pizza bomber” story.

Of course, no one wanted to be blown up as well. I don't remember if they called the bomb squad in or not. So sad.

He was in on it but they crossed him. They sent him on a treasure hunt for hints to get out but it would’ve went off way before he could’ve finished

It was in no way a remote location, it was 5 minutes off of 1-90 and it was in a plaza with restaurants and stores and a DMV. it was next to a golden corral and across the lot from Chucky cheese filled with children. it was just up the road from the Millcreek mall. I don't know why the shows always refer to it as remote.

What could the police do? Blow up with him? I doubt they had time to get a bomb squad out there once the timer was ticking. He should have been yelling the names of his co-conspirators.
