SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF
A bizarre criminal odyssey began at a 7-Eleven store in Lake City shortly after 8 a.m. yesterday when police say a man wielding a pair of scissors and claiming to be Jesus tried to rob a garbage truck.
It ended a short time later in front of the Bank of America Tower in downtown Seattle with the man's arrest.
Police say that the 25-year-old Seattle man couldn't get the garbage truck he initially had tried to rob into gear. So the suspect carjacked a pickup truck, then led patrol officers on a short chase that ended along Fifth Avenue near Cherry Street.
