It looks like the police may have actually done something positive for a change. They stopped a drunk man who had a weapons arsenal in his hotel room. This right before New Year’s Eve celebrations were scheduled to begin.

Fox News:

A Houston man was arrested on multiple charges after police found a stash of guns including an AR-15 in his room early Sunday at the top of the Hyatt Regency ahead of the downtown hotel’s massive New Year’s Eve celebration, authorities said.

According to Click2Houston, police at the hotel called for backup after they attempted to arrest a man for being intoxicated and trespassing.

When backup arrived, police noticed ammunition in the man’s hotel room on the 28th floor, Lt. Gordon Macintosh with Houston police told local media.

The man was arrested for unlawfully carrying a weapon and trespassing. When investigators looked into his room further, they located an AR-15, a shotgun, a handgun and lots of ammunition, Macintosh said.

The situation was “contained” and there were no specific threats to Houston, according to a tweet from Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo.

Police are saying otherwise, but it is reasonable to believe that this man was thinking about doing a copycat of the Las Vegas shooting. He was in a high rise hotel with lots of weapons and ammunition. At least the situation has been contained. That’s the good news.

But we sure live in some crazy times. Our sick society is driving people to do increasingly insane things.
