STREETSBORO — Police say a bank robbery suspect may have eaten evidence of the crime when he gobbled a piece of paper while handcuffed and lying across the hood of a police cruiser.
A police video camera captured the 35-year-old suspect grabbing the paper with his mouth as Twinsburg police emptied his pockets on Thursday.
The suspect, John Ford of Cleveland, was arrested following a report of a bank robbery at First Merit Bank that day.
Streetsboro police say a man walked into the bank and handed a teller a note that demanded money.
Police say they found money in a bag in Ford’s car, which fit the description of the bank robber’s vehicle, along with a bank die pack that had exploded.
Ford was being held in the Portage County Jail Saturday where his file did not indicate he had a lawyer.
