This phrase never ends well. Crime Scene KC has the bizarre details on a beer-loving man who allegedly threatened to blow up a couple of cops if they wouldn't let him take his beers to jail with him. The alleged beer bomber was 59-year-old Robert O. Whitlock, who the police picked up March 13 at 23rd and Poplar. An apparently drunk Whitlock, who had a bowie knife, was screaming at a neighbor. That's not very neighborly. Neither is threatening to blow up the cops.
From Crime Scene KC:
Whitlock said he was not going to jail without his beer. He allegedly threatened to "get even" with the officers and said they would "know about his bomb soon."
He told the officers he was recently released from prison after 14 years for "blowing someone up," a claim later verified by police. Police found a device in his pocket with a red button and wires attached.
