🚨🇺🇸Cops are searching a suspicious car parked right outside the Dallas hotel where Ken Paxton is having his election night watch party.

They pulled a ton of ammo out of it, you can see the pile sitting on the roof in the pictures, but they haven’t found any guns yet.

He was arrested shortly before the watch party started at 6 PM.

Fox 4 News reported:

FOX 4 reporters saw officers collecting ammunition on the hood of the vehicle with no license plates. They also pulled out a large amount of ammunition from the trunk of the vehicle.

They detained a man who was wearing a camouflage hat, mask, and gloves.

No firearms were found, police said.

At this time, the identity of the suspect has not been released.

The man claimed to be an Uber driver and asked to use the hotel bathroom.

However, staff were suspicious because his car had no license plate.

The New York Times has more:

A member of Mr. Paxton’s campaign said that he had seen the man enter the hotel and asked to use the restroom. The staff member said he had spoken with the man briefly.

The staff member, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the unfolding police investigation, said the man told him he was an Uber driver, but the staff member doubted that story, observing that the car he was driving appeared to have no plates.

The police officers searching the car appeared to also take a license plate from inside the vehicle. They declined to say what the man was being detained for, and it was not immediately clear if he had been armed when he entered the hotel.

Very strange.

Thankfully, cops were able to thwart whatever this guy may have been planning.
