Police arrest man with pistol, magazine in his bag at Carolina...

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said they found a pistol in a man's bag Sunday outside the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, ahead of the Panthers game.

Officers arrested Bruce Garmon when they found the unloaded pistol, as well as a fully-loaded magazine.

The Charlotte Interim City manager and CMPD had declared the Panthers vs. Vikings game an extraordinary event, after days of protests against a deadly officer-involved shooting.

An extraordinary event allows for tighter security and bans certain items such as backpacks from being brought into the event.
