While I didn’t see any of this myself, apparently life got a little exciting for Bellevue residents yesterday as the FBI barricaded robbery suspects inside a hotel…
More than 200 guests were trapped in a hotel for 4 1/2 hours yesterday morning as FBI agents negotiated with bank robbery suspects barricaded inside.
The standoff ended peacefully around 12:30 p.m. when the three suspects came out of their room at the Embassy Suites Hotel at 3325 158th Ave. S.E. near the Eastgate shopping center.
In the end, the suspects surrendered peacefully, and noone was hurt. My favorite bit of the story, though?
The three men, charged with the Jan. 12 armed robbery of a bank in Cape Girardeau, Mo., had registered at the Bellevue hotel in their own names.
Good way to stay undercover, guys. ;)
