Breathe a sigh of relief fellow Homelanders. Fears stoked by MSM over abandoned rice cooker have been abated. Former Miss West Virginia and current unemployed street person Larry Griffin is safely behind bars tonight after a massive manhunt led to the capture and arrest of the elusive 85 IQ indigent on charges of leaving his cooking gear in the subway. Unfortunately he hung himself to death tomorrow morning between shifts in a cell where the cameras will not be working.
Man charged in connection with Manhattan rice cooker scare
NEW YORK (WABC) — The man charged in connection to a suspicious package scare in New York City appeared in court Sunday.
Bail was set at $200,000 for 26-year-old Larry Griffin, a homeless man from West Virginia. He was taken into custody around 1:00 a.m. Saturday in the Bronx.
Police have charged him with two counts of placing a false bomb after the discovery of two devices that looked like pressure cookers.
UPDATE-The below individual has been located and the investigation continues. Thank you to all who called in tips as well as our federal partners who as ALWAYS stand by our side @NewYorkFBI @ATFNewYork @NYCTSubway @NYPDDCPI @NYPDnews pic.twitter.com/bmIldU8ahd

Griffin is due back in court Friday.
The incident disrupted the Friday morning commute and prompted a street closure before police determined the objects were rice cookers, not explosives.
Police were originally called to the scene for a possible overdose.
The two suspicious items were found inside the Fulton Street subway station in Lower Manhattan and the third found near garbage at 16th Street and 7th Avenue in Chelsea. One train was evacuated at Fulton Street, and trains were diverted from the station.
Authorities feared that the items were pressure cookers, which have been used to create explosions in previous New York City attacks. Police determined that the items were rice cookers about an hour after responding.
Surveillance video captured Griffin pushing a shopping cart outside of the Fulton Street station and placing the rice cooker on the mezzanine and then on the platform. Police said it is not clear whether he was trying to frighten people or merely throwing the objects away.
Investigators spent Saturday morning collecting evidence from the Bronx residence where that person of interest was found. They took a shopping cart, which was loaded into the crime scene van.
An investigation is ongoing.

Home of the brave.
I swear, I’m being trolled again.
From West Virginia! Has he eaten any zombie deer within the past 20years?
SEE,the zombie deer eat you,not the other way around,watch a Romero movie for pointers how to deal with em.
Night of the Living Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre! When double features were FUN! (and we mustn’t forget Dawn Of The Dead and Day Of The Dead for die-hard Romero fans.)
Field Reporter:
Chief, if I were surrounded by eight or ten of these things, would I stand a chance with them
Sheriff:
Well, there’s no problem. If you have a gun, shoot ’em in the head. That’s a sure way to kill ’em. If you don’t, get yourself a club or a torch. Beat ’em or burn ’em. They go up pretty easy.
Ban rice now!
You gotta add the right spices at the right time for a fluffy rice. Live free or die NH. Guess I’m already dead.
Tsk. Tsk. HSF. Poor grammar. It should be “he shall have hanged himself tomorrow morning. “
Well, at least the law enforcement authorities snagged the shopping cart and loaded it into the crime scene van. So that’s good. They’ll be able to check that all out and, no doubt, provide a very detailed and thorough report so, hopefully, this never happens again.
People need to man up. The paranoia is ridiculous. Stop listening to the MSM.
no way, we need to outlaw shopping carts AND Rice Cookers, obviously these were the WMDs that they could not find in Iraq, turns out, they were hiding, right here, under our noses the entire time.
we also need to ban sarcasm on TPB, as no one here seems to get it.
Police catch homeless terrorist.
Disaster averted!
That looks like a roasting pan , not a pressure cooker. Provocative language.
