NEWS: Man robs store with fire crackers- Astonishingly unsuccessful
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — A man was arrested Monday after he stuffed a firecracker in his waistband, walked into a Bed, Bath & Beyond in Boynton Beach and threatened to blow up the store, police said.
Jesse James Lyon, 61, faces charges of armed robbery and planting a hoax bomb.
Boynton Beach police said Lyon was wearing a straw hat, glasses, a white shirt and khaki shorts when he walked into the store on Congress Avenue, approached the cashier and demanded money. Police said he then lifted up his shirt to reveal the firecracker in his waistband and threatened to "blow everything up."
Police said another cashier saw the firecracker and told Lyon to get out. A customer followed him outside and watched him drive off in a Toyota sport utility vehicle.
According to the arrest report, an officer spotted the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. Police said Lyon was then wearing an orange shirt, dark pants and glasses, but a firecracker was found in a box in the back.

I don't think this guy was aware that a fire cracker has a "blast radius" probably something around the size of a tennis ball....
