Man accused of threatening to ‘bring AR-15′ to Smith’s in Las Vegas

A Las Vegas man is facing charges related to terrorism after threatening to bring an AR-15 to a Smith’s store earlier this month.

41-year-old Elvis Tuck was taken into custody on Saturday, March 2 after his father informed the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department that he was going “to Smith’s to threaten employees.”

LVMPD officers located Tuck outside a nearby restaurant, where he was “ordering tacos,” and took him into custody. Tuck’s demeanor then became “aggressive toward officers,” and the report noted that he had a “strong odor of alcohol and appeared drunk.” A black pocketknife was also found on Tuck’s person during the arrest.

Tuck’s father told LVMPD that he had been “drinking nonstop for more than ten days and stated he was going to Smith’s with a knife [to] threaten employees,” according to the report.
