While I didn’t see any of this myself, apparently life got a little exciting for Bellevue residents yesterday as the FBI barricaded robbery suspects inside a hotel…

More than 200 guests were trapped in a hotel for 4 1/2 hours yesterday morning as FBI agents negotiated with bank robbery suspects barricaded inside.

The standoff ended peacefully around 12:30 p.m. when the three suspects came out of their room at the Embassy Suites Hotel at 3325 158th Ave. S.E. near the Eastgate shopping center.

p>In the end, the suspects surrendered peacefully, and noone was hurt. My favorite bit of the story, though?

The three men, charged with the Jan. 12 armed robbery of a bank in Cape Girardeau, Mo., had registered at the Bellevue hotel in their own names.

Good way to stay undercover, guys. ;)
