CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) - Bond has been set at $250,000 for an Ohio man accused of carrying a loaded gun, ammunition and knives into a showing of the latest Batman movie last weekend.
Bond was set Thursday in Cleveland for 37-year-old Scott A. Smith of North Ridgeville at his initial court appearance. Another hearing is scheduled for Tuesday on the charges, which include carrying concealed weapons and having weapons under disability.
Police say Smith carried the weapons into a Westlake theater before a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" Saturday night. An off-duty police officer working security searched his bag and found the weapons.
Smith's attorney said his client meant no harm, and had the weapons for protection in case someone tried to copy last month's deadly Colorado theater shooting.
