High Point police arrested a Thomasville man Sunday morning outside a church after officers found him armed with flamethrowers, a CO2-powered launcher designed to resemble a handgun, crossbows and more than 500 rounds of ammunition during Sunday services, authorities said.
High Point 911 received a call around 10:15 a.m. about an armed man sitting in a truck in the parking lot of Wesley Memorial Church on Chestnut Drive. The caller reported the man had a gun and was wearing camouflage clothing. An off-duty officer working at the church responded immediately, with additional officers arriving within minutes.
According to High Point police, officers disarmed William S. Milliken III, 44, of Thomasville and took him into custody without incident. He was wearing a plate carrier — a type of body armor — at the time of his arrest. No one was injured.
A search of Milliken's truck turned up additional items, including two crossbows, three knives, rolls of black duct tape and oxycodone pills. Milliken faces charges of possession of a weapon of mass destruction, impersonation of a law enforcement officer and possession of a Schedule II controlled substance. He is being held at the Guilford County Jail in High Point.

Please put the state somewhere. In the title in parentheses, in your comments, in keywords...anywhere!
North Carolina..................
Flamethrowers?
High Point, NC
Okay, Northcarolina is a keyword now. You’re right, I should have specified that somewhere.
Because he didn’t get to get on with it I wonder what now they can do with him, I mean other than take away his ammo and stuff but this guy could maybe go out and get more and then complete his original mission. I certainly hope not.
This man was ready for all out war.
I expected to read that he was either Trans, Incel or some type of Furry. Who or what was his Nemesis?
Some sharpeyed citizen did their duty;
If you see something, say something!
I dunno, sounds like someone selling stuff on craigslist.
Was he on a Bingo losing streak?
The reporter left off, he was a paid up, card carrying member of the lunatic fringe.
I see the Planet
Has Gone Completely Insane.
.
Flame Throwers Now ?
Exactly. As someone who posted couple spots below you said he can claim "selling stuff on Craigslist". Hopefully they got him with enough illegal things to lock him away for a long time.
500 rounds of ammo and no gun? Strange. And the “flamethrowers” were probably Elon’s brand of “Not a Flamethrower”. You got an Rx for that Oxy? He is a church member there? Lots of Q’s for a strange situation.

People love making jokes and memes about having easy access to flamethrowers, but I never thought it was a good idea.
If your profession uses them, fine, but private use for anybody who has the cash? Very careless.
The Commom Man can no longer be trusted to have common sense.
Ooh, that’s real close to my dad’s place.

America's got talent!
Was the address on C-9 Road?
Well, he had this: “a CO2-powered launcher designed to resemble a handgun”. In other words, a pellet pistol with 500 pellets in a tin.
Oh, and he had an airsoft plate carrier with no plate.
Gotta love the media.
