A heavily armed teen with a Halloween mask was found in a parked car outside a high school

A teenager armed with a semi-automatic rifle, 100 rounds of ammo, and an illegal club was sitting in his parked car outside a high school sports event in Rowlett, Texas. Now he’s sitting in jail on a $1 million bond after a chance encounter with a patrolling police officer.

Diego Horta, 17, also had a Halloween mask and what officers believe to be hallucinogenic drugs in his car. Police searched the vehicle after Horta’s rifle was spotted “in plain view” through the window, said a statement from Rowlett Police Department. He was arrested at the scene.

“There is no specific evidence at this time to substantiate beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect was intending to do harm to anyone,” Rowlett police said in its statement. “This investigation continues.”

He had a 9mm Hi-Point rifle.  They found Child porn on his phone.  Don't know if that mean nudies of his 17 Y/O GF but they like to pile on the charges before trial.  We will have to wait and see if he is a perv.

Hi-Point, while it is likely to fail from sloppy manufacturing, it is heavy enough to be a suitable club when it does.
