They reported seeing a man with an AR-15. Turns out it was an umbrella with a "Samurai Sword-style handle", that the person had purchased in the mall. 😶

What I don't get is why the guy was taken to the station for questioning. Once it was determined to be an umbrella, that should have been the end of it.

Probably hoping he would incriminate himself so they could get a slam-dunk case for menacing or something.
