Sharp-eyed Florida sheriff’s deputies prevented a possible mass shooting Tuesday when they arrested a man armed to the teeth with high-powered guns just outside a busy airport, officials said.
Michael Rodrigues, 41, was in a rental car packed with an AR-15, at least two loaded magazines, and several knives parked outside the Palm Beach International Airport in a restricted lot, on Tuesday morning, the Miami Herald reported.
Palm Beach Sheriff’s deputies approached the “suspicious” man at 7:10 a.m. as the suspect was getting dressed outside the car — discovering the small armory inside his vehicle after finding one loaded magazine in a glovebox, the outlet stated, citing the sheriff’s office.
Some of those deadly weapons were concealed under a blanket in the car, according to the Herald.
Rodrigues was taken into custody without incident.
Charges are still pending.
