PASCAGOULA, Miss. -- A local man threatened to blow up Hancock Bank on Market Street with what turned out to a bag of gumbo and jars of spaghetti sauce, according to the Pascagoula Police Department.

The gumbo was in a Ziplock bag and the spaghetti sauce was in a pair of mason jars, according to Lt. Davy Davis of the department. "I've been here 23 years and this was definitely a first," Davis said.

David Harold Hudson Sr., 61, was arrested at his Market Street apartment on Wednesday afternoon and was awaiting an initial court appearance.

Davis said according to the bank, Hudson had been at the branch early Wednesday and was asked to leave after he started harassing customers. When he came back about 1:30 in the afternoon, he placed a white garbage bag containing the food on the lobby floor, told a bank manager he had a bomb and would blow the bank up, and left.

No one at the department tasted the gumbo or sauce, Davis said. "You're the third person in an hour who has asked me that," he said.
