Las Vegas’s CBS affiliate reports:

Las Vegas Metro police arrested an evangelical pastor for allegedly having guns and drugs in a hotel room in an incident that initially sparked a counter-terrorism response, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned. David McGee, 61, faces drug and gun-related charges connected to his Aug. 20 arrest at the Strat Hotel Casino & Tower, records said. McGee is the senior pastor at the  The Bridge Fellowship, outside Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

When officers asked McGee if he had any weapons in his room, he reportedly replied, “Yes, I have a gun in my guitar case,” documents said. Hotel employees had previously warned McGee about the policy after he allegedly brought a shotgun to his room days earlier. The discovery of the firearms, including an AR-15 with a scope, prompted responding officers to suspect McGee was planning a 1 October-style shooting, documents said.

Las Vegas’s NBC affiliate reports:

Inside the hotel room, police said they found suspected fentanyl pills and powder, they said. “McGee advised [the detective] that he brought the fentanyl from North Carolina on his private jet to Las Vegas and paid approximately $1,000,” documents said. “McGee stated that he was a user of fentanyl and intended to distribute the fentanyl to his daughter when he locates her.” McGee posted on a public Facebook page that he would be traveling to find his daughter who he believed was living in a flood control tunnel.

It’s all what Jesus would want.
