Man accused of carrying a concealed gun without a license
CUSHING, Okla. — Cushing police said they arrested a man Friday morning after a Walmart employee found a loaded handgun inside a jacket left on a store rack.
The man who is thought to have worn the jacket before setting it on a rack was arrested just before 7:30 a.m. Friday. He has been arrested on preliminary charges of possession of a loaded firearm while intoxicated, possession of a concealed firearm without a license and public intoxication, according to Cushing police. He is being held in the Payne County Jail on $2,500 bail.
The man was unsteady on his feet and had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech when police arrived at the store in Cushing, police said. The man told police he took an over-the-counter medication, according to police. Deputy Chief Tully Folden said he didn't know which medication the man claimed to have taken.
Police took a .38-caliber handgun in the investigation. The man told police he wasn't aware the gun was in his jacket, Folden said.
