Arkansas Man In Jail After Climbing Downtown Building
( Air Date: 4/29/2004 )

A man accused of scaling a downtown Little Rock building with a loaded gun is now behind bars after facing a judge this morning.

Jared Tumbleson, 33, was charged with two misdemeanors: Carrying a weapon and criminal trespassing. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Police started looking for Tumbleson yesterday afternoon after getting several calls about suspicious behavior when he and another man tried to check in to two hotels.

Bond was set at $500,000. Tumbleson’s trial date was set for May 20th.

Little Rock Police search for half of suspicious duo from hotel check-in

LITTLE ROCK (AP) - A man who tried to check into a downtown hotel Wednesday with what clerks described as a "suspicious package" was captured after fleeing, and a second man was being sought hours later.

Police said the package was later found to contain a pair of military-style gas masks, a U.S. Navy ID card believed to be not genuine, a loaded .22-caliber handgun, ammunition for a 9 mm handgun and a shotgun - but no additional weapons, a knife and pornographic material.

Officers said the two, dressed in fatigues, tried to check into the hotel while carrying a large duffel-type bag. Clerks questioned the men about what was inside and the pair fled.

One man was caught quickly, but the other fled to the Pyramid Building, about two blocks away. The man could not immediately be found, but police scaled back a search and reopened downtown streets.

Police were interviewing the man detained.
