A man who called police and asked them to meet him in a Shreveport neighborhood had an array of weapons spread out on the trunk of his car. He's been arrested for possession of firearms in close proximity to an elementary school.
Authorities said the man told them he wanted to draw attention to a dispute he had with another man who lives in the neighborhood. It revolved around a woman both men used to date, a man familiar with the case said.
Police Department spokesman Sgt. Bill Goodin said John Wiese, 50, of Homer called police just before 9 a.m. and asked for a patrol supervisor to meet him in the 700 block of Thora Boulevard. He gave no more information, Goodin said.
Police sent several officers, who found Wiese standing outside a car with a crossbow and an assortment of rifles, shotguns and a handgun displayed on the trunk of the car, Goodin said.
The car was parked within 1,000 feet of South Highland Elementary Magnet School. State law prohibits possession of guns in close proximity to a school.
Police said they seized a bolt-action .308-caliber rifle, a semiautomatic .308-caliber rifle, two semiautomatic .22-caliber rifles, a .460-caliber Magnum revolver, a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol, a 12-gauge pump shotgun, more than 500 rounds of ammunition and a crossbow.
"Wiese advised officers that he had been involved in an ongoing dispute with a man who lived on Thora Boulevard and he had come to that location to bring attention to that dispute," Goodin said. "Nothing uncovered by officers indicates there was any threat directed to the elementary school or the students there."
Wiese was booked on charges of carrying a firearm or dangerous weapon in a firearm-free zone.
