MOUNT CLEMENS — The woman suspected of robbing a Clinton Township 5/3 Bank with two cans of Ragu spaghetti sauce was arrested Friday in Mount Clemens.

Clinton Township Police Capt. Richard Maierle said police identified 53-year-old Ophelia Amelia Neal as the suspect shortly after the crime.

Maierle said Neal, already a conspicuous woman at 400-plus pounds, didn't bother to cover her face.

Police recognized Neal, a convict and parole absconder, from previous interactions.

The mood was tense Saturday morning when Neal entered the bank, laid a clunking bag containing a proclaimed bomb on the teller counter and demanded cash.

She fled in a getaway care driven by an unknown man with $3,000.

The State Police Bomb Squad spent hours at the bank going through the meticulous process of setting up a perimeter and clearing the scene.

They used an x-ray device fastened to a robot to determine the cloth bag left on the counter contained two cans with a non-explosive liquid inside.

Upon opening the bag to inspect the contents, police found — although high in sugars and sodium — two cans of otherwise harmless Ragu spaghetti sauce.

Reports didn't indicate which style sauce.

The Macomb County Prosecutor's Office charged Neal with bank robbery and use of an explosive with intent to frighten.

The suspect has prior convictions for writing bad checks, possession of marijuana, entering an establishment without permission, felonious assault and possession of a controlled substances (cocaine, meth or ecstasy)
