NORTH CANTON: Police in northeast Ohio say they arrested a man wearing a bullet-proof vest who had loaded guns in his car and planned to shoot up a bar.
North Canton police say they found 29-year-old Michael Bianchi in a parking lot early Friday after friends reported that he planned to kill people at a bar. Police say he was wearing camouflage makeup, and had a shotgun within arm’s reach and two loaded handguns on his body.
Police say they don’t know if Bianchi, of Uniontown, knew anyone at the bar. After his arrest, he told officers he also planned to kill himself.
He was jailed on charges of carrying concealed weapons and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle. Online court records didn’t indicate if he had an attorney.
