Foley police have arrested the man they say called 911 claiming that he was robbing a bank and had hostages.

Dozens of officers surrounded the Wachovia on Highway 59 Tuesday with guns drawn, not knowing the call was a hoax. They evacuated employees and bank customers and spent almost two hours making sure no one was inside with a gun.

Police released the 911 tape of the call hoping someone will recognize the voice.

Tips led police to 45-year-old Danny Janish. They say he confessed during questioning. Police found the cell phone used to make the call at Janish's home. He's charged with rendering a false alarm, which is a misdemeanor.

Okay this has to be the STUPIDEST PERSON on the face of the earth….  Exactly what would make you think it would be a good idea to call 911 and tell them you are robbing a bank and have hostages???  I cannot for the life of me think of anything that would make someone do this.  I mean what did he hope to accomplish by doing this, it wasn’t like he was actually going to get any money out of this.  He put the lives of the officers that responded to this in danger, he put the general public on the road in danger due to the officers responding urgently, he put the bank employees lives in danger and any customers that were in the bank.  I mean seriously, what if someone would have had a heart attack or seizure during the evacuation of those in the bank?  What if one of the officers would have been in an accident while responding to this call?

I just can’t think of a single reason someone would do this…... Anyone???

FROM WHAT I HEAR IT’S THE SAME STORY IN MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA TOO.  MY FRIENDS ALL TOLD ME THAT ABOUT WHERE THEY LIVE IT’S ALL OVER THE NEWS THERE TOO AND NOTHING HAPPENED THERE EITHER.

psychopath customers that destroy the place and then wonder why they can’t find anything.  more thing happen on the streets than wal-mart ksvicious sounds like you have a little phycho going there…calm down…..

You’re not safer at Wal-Mart.

Someone I know was attacked by a razor blade wielding psychopath at in the garden center at the Shillenger’s Wal-Mart a month ago.

Then there was that lady that got acid sprayed on her.

Oh, and the time the roof fell in at the Emogene location.

That stuff doesn’t happen on the street!

Like I have stated before, all of it was just a big rumor that actually started in 2005   http://www.snopes.com/crime/gangs/walmart.asp

I work at the Tilmans Corner WAl-Mart and nothing happened.. no shooting.. there was a past employee came in on same evening and made a few threats but nothing happened we did receive a lot of calls on the Gang Hoax….Ambulance Drivers come in to buy at Wal-Mart and sometimes we have people to pass out or get sick…You would be safer at Wal Mart rather than on the street..

ok just to clear it i have a great friend that is a disspatcher for mpd and nothin happened anywhere it was just a bunch of senseless rumors flying around… cause i heard tillmans corner and schillinger road but, it was just a bunch of rumors getting started…

Oh gang initiations? I heard an employee at the Tilman’s Corner location was shot…

have been called three times today about schillinger rd wal mart hving an incident today…. they are saying they have mpd cell numbers if i dont believe them but, i wont believe it til i see it in the paper

I’ve received two messages about the Wal-Mart thing today, tattyck.  My thought is that the MPD would do something like alert the media if it were true.
