CLEVELAND - A North Ridgeville man arrested with a loaded gun, ammunition and knives at a showing of the latest Batman movie has been indicted on three weapons counts.
A Cleveland grand jury returned the indictment Monday against 37-year-old Scott A. Smith, on two counts of carrying concealed weapons and one count of having a weapon under disability. Police say he's drug dependent and shouldn't have a weapon.
Bond was set at $250,000. Arraignment was scheduled for Aug. 27.
Smith's attorney says his client had the weapons for protection in case someone tried to copy the Colorado theater shooting that left 12 dead. There was no immediate response to a request for comment on the indictment.
Smith was arrested an Aug. 4 showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Westlake.
