Police in Tampa arrested a woman at the Walmart on East Fletcher Ave who had assembled a homemade bomb with materials she found inside the store.
Cops say a security guard had grown suspicious of a woman who was roaming around the store with her son for more than an hour. As he and an off-duty police officer approached her, she tried to light what appeared to be a homemade explosive. They say she had a mason jar filled with nails, denatured alcohol and a candle -- all items she was able to find inside the store.
After a brief struggle, the officers were able to pin her down and wait for police to arrive. 37-year-old Emily Stallard was arrested and charged with attempted arson, fire bombing, child abuse, and battery of a law enforcement officer. The Sheriff said, "This woman had all the supplies she needed to cause mass destruction at her disposal."
Thank God she was stopped before anyone got hurt!
