So everyone probably knows about Pokemon unless you've lived under a rock. Big franchise, large money maker, and pretty competitive if you want to crunch numbers. Some people tend to make fun of of those that enjoy this game series. But you know what they don't do? Plan attacks.
Two such people, Kevin Norton, 18, and James Stumbo, 27, were arrested after police were informed about threats through social media. The two men had driven from Iowa to Boston, Massachusetts; which is where the event is being held. They were stopped by police from entering the event and upon finding out they had no license for 'several' firearms in their vehicle, police seized the car but the suspects were let go pending a search warrant.
When the warrant was issued, the police found the following in their vehicle: a 12-gauge Remington shotgun, a DPM5 Model AR-15 rifle, several hundred rounds of ammunition, and a hunting knife. The suspects were arrested soon after this discovery at a hotel they were staying at. Currently they are facing unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and other firearm related offenses.
And now for some articles;
