A person called Pasadena Police and reported an armed man wearing camouflage at Whole Foods, 465 S. Arroyo Pkwy., just before 11 a.m. November 22. Police searched for about 40 minutes, but found no one armed, according to Lt. Marie Sell of the Pasadena Police Department. Shoppers took to social media, recalling the search just minutes after officers arrived. Officers appeared to have people very casually exit Whole Foods in groups. Some drivers were denied entry into a nearby parking structure. Some officers were armed with rifles. It is unclear if the caller gave information as a prank, or was possibly spooked by someone wearing camouflage clothing. “We do have a name and number, but when we tried to call back the person didn’t answer the phone,” Sell said.
