NEW ORLEANS LA June 19 2011 — Tangipahoa Parish sheriff’s deputies arrested a local man who they said tried to run into a local club with a rifle because of bad service.
Sheriff Daniel Edwards said deputies saw 23-year-old Pedro Varnado hastily enter a night club with an assault rifle and point the rifle’s muzzle at the crowd of people inside. A bouncer tackled the man to the ground, but deputies said Varnado became aggressively violent and refused to cooperate with the officers.
Deputies said Varnado continued to behave violently even after he was detained, kicking and banging his head against the patrol unit.
Edwards said investigators learned that Varnado was unhappy with a club employee. Detectives said Varnado left the bar after threatening the employee but returned later with an assault rifle.
Deputies said Varnado was charged with aggravated assault, three counts of resisting arrest and possession of a firearm at an alcoholic beverage outlet.
