A Vero Beach man who was angry with his wife left a phony bomb on a kitchen counter, an Indian River County Sheriff's Office spokesman said Friday.

Randolph Smith, 51, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, planting a hoax bomb and resisting arrest without violence.

Thursday night, deputies received a call from a woman who said her husband left a gray pipe with a wire protruding from one end on the kitchen counter. There were several hand-written notes on the counter, including one that read, "This is (an) explosive. (It's) a bomb."

Smith's wife told deputies she is in the process of getting a divorce.

How is this assault with a “deadly” weapon? Yes, It was a truly dumb thing to do. But “deadly”? No.

This married couple's problems didn't start last week.
Sad that these couples duke it out for SO LONG. Actually, it's PATHETIC.

“...deadly weapon, planting a hoax bomb and resisting arrest without violence.”

Sounds like those police were graduates of the School of Creative Law Writing and Screen Door Company.

Looks like a description of a Far Side cartoon.

Don’t get me wrong, this guy is a loon. But WTF is “resisting arrest without violence?” Arguing? Making fun of the morons trying to arrest him for an imaginary crime.

His handwriting looks very jazzed up. The product of an unstable mind. Too much Nescafe or Meth maybe.
