Hello Chief Deveau:
I know you have a lot more important matters to deal with in the aftermath of this weekend’s surreal events with the two Marathon bombers.
But, when you get a moment, I am interested to know what happened to that elderly man the four EOD robots were working on Friday on Arsenal Street?
Our family was listening to the police scanner reports that reported he was about 6 ‘ tall, about 60 years old, had "salt and pepper hair", he was handcuffed on the ground and he was "worked on" by four robots, as he was holding a possible explosive device. He has yelling and arching his back and shaking his head “no”.
The last we heard on the scanner was that the 4 EOD robots were trying to take the vest off of him.
We can’t seem to find any info in the media about this incident at all.
We live less than a mile from that location and have several friends in Watertown. Our son is a US Marine and he was explaining to us what the EOD team was doing and would be doing to difuse the situation but then the scanner stopped reporting on him.
Please put our minds at ease about this event as this was very disturbing to hear with all the other scary scanner traffic that transpired that day. Not knowing what happened to him makes us worry about other potential suicide bombers lurking so close to our home.
Sincerely,
Paula Archer
