Authorities responding to report of man with bomb discover runner with weight vest and iPhoneWhat began as a report of a man walking down FM 706 in Hudson with a bomb strapped to his chest Tuesday morning ended in the discovery of a man jogging with a weight vest and his iPhone.
According to Hudson Police Chief Jimmy Casper and Angelina County Sheriffs Office Sgt. Sergio Luna, around 7:30 a.m. law enforcement received a report of man dressed in all black walking down FM 706 with a bomb strapped to himself. "The woman was very descriptive in the information she gave us - white wires going down to a white box.", Hudson Police Chief Jimmy Casper said following the incident.
Angelina County Sheriff Greg Shanches said that although the incident ended up not being a safety concern, he applauds the public for paying attention."We're just glad that people are aware of their surroundings," the Sherriff said.

"being aware of her surroundings" as opposed to totally confused by them.
