Police said he threatened poll workers after saying that money was missing from the wallet.
A man who forgot his wallet at a polling place on Tuesday threatened workers and brought a gun to the building over $100 he claimed was missing, Harrisburg police said.
“The officers made attempts to convince Mr. Lassiter it wouldn’t be in everyone’s best interest if he was to show up at a polling station with a firearm with bad intentions,” Harrisburg police said in a Wednesday news release. Police said officers found seven firearms with matching ammunition for each one in Lassiter’s vehicle.
