Last week, multiple TV news outlets in New Orleans, the Florida panhandle, and in the Chapel Hill, NC area reported that a former Chapel Hill, NC policeman was arrested, suspected of plotting a mass shooting at the New Orleans Jazz Festival.

The man was arrested at a Hampton Inn & Suites in Destin, Florida where he was staying, about a 4-hour drive from New Orleans. In his room, police allegedly found a handgun and about 200 rounds of ammunition.

The three-state law enforcement operation began after a family member called Okaloosa County (Destin area) police requesting some sort of "wellness check".

According to the WWLTV (New Orleans) news presenter, "Court records for [the suspect's] case are marked confidential. The court clerk told WWLTV that this indicates it is a mental health case."

It is assumed that the man drove north-to-south through Georgia from NC to FL. Exactly when is not yet known.

At the time of reporting the former policeman was being held in a Destin area jail, to be extradited to Louisiana to face state charges there.

The announcement came on the day of a mass shooting at a mall in Baton Rouge, a 90-minute drive from New Orleans.
