Indiana Man Arrested in LA Area Wasn't Allowed to Have Guns
By AMANDA LEE MYERS AND DYLAN LOVAN, ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTOWN, Ind. — Jun 14, 2016, 3:23 AM ET
A man arrested in Southern California with three assault rifles who told police he was headed to a gay pride event had earlier been ordered by a judge in his home state of Indiana to give up all his guns.
But authorities there said Monday that they didn't make any surprise checks on James Wesley Howell to confirm he was following the probation requirement.
Howell has a California court appearance tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, but it wasn't yet clear what charges he'll face, if any.
He was arrested early Sunday in Santa Monica with the weapons and explosives in a car he apparently drove from Indiana. He told police he was headed to a gay pride event in West Hollywood that attracts hundreds of thousands of people.
