Baton Rouge police say they have arrested three people who were plotting to kill police with guns stolen from a pawn shop. Police detained 17-year-old Antonio Thomas early Saturday morning, alleging he had broken into a pawn shop to steal guns and ammunition. Police say he was in possession of a handgun and a BB gun from the store at the time. Police allege Thomas told them he and three other people had stolen the guns and were planning to shoot police officers. But a local newspaper has raised questions about the police’s account. The Acadiana Advocate reported Wednesday that the police report filed at the time of Thomas’s arrest makes no mention of the reported threat. On Tuesday, police held a press conference to announce the threat, where East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux spoke out.

Sheriff Sid Gauteaux: “Look what happened in Dallas: A very peaceful protest, and then some crazy madman did what he did. So I think the threat speaks for itself. We can’t take anything for granted anymore.”

Police said they have also arrested a 20-year-old and a 13-year-old in connection to the case.
