PHOENIX — A man at a Phoenix-area polling location was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly carrying a BB gun and filming inside the venue.
The Goodyear Police Department told KTAR News 92.3 FM in an email that 37-year-old Brad Luebke entered the Desert Springs Community Church near 144th Avenue and Indian School Road wearing a holstered BB gun on his hip.
Polling officials and officers attempted to reason with Luebke and asked him to act in regard to the Arizona statutes regarding polling locations or leave, according to spokeswoman Lisa Berry, but he “refused to leave or cooperate.”
At that point, officers took Luebke into custody. Berry said officers are looking to charge him with three counts of disorderly conduct, one count of misconduct involving weapons and one count of recording within 75 feet of a polling place.
According to ABC15, there were no injuries reported in connection to the incident.
