[LATIMES] A man inside a stolen truck had guns, body armor and Molotov cocktails when police enjuggedKeep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! him in Seattle on Wednesday night, officials said Thursday. The identity of the 21-year-old Nevada man was not released, and officials said they didn't know why he was at the University of Washington, where he was discovered. University police first encountered the man sleeping in the truck at the campus in Seattle on Tuesday evening, university police Chief John Vinson said in a Thursday news conference. Vinson described the contact as a "noncriminal" encounter; police left after questioning the man, who had no outstanding warrants. The next morning, however, officials got an alert that the truck had been stolen from Montana on Monday, and when police returned to the site where the man had been sleeping, he and the truck were gone. At 10:30 p.m. that night, university police spotted the truck on campus again. Police took the man into custody on suspicion of stealing the truck. After searching the vehicle, officers discovered a cache of weaponry, Vinson said. Police found a stolen scoped rifle, a stolen shotgun, body armor and "multiple" Molotov cocktails, Vinson said. "We don't know why he's in the University of Washington area," Vinson said, adding: "We have no idea what his intentions are. ... We're trying to rule out everything at this point." |

| #4 Mebbe he's a Huskies fan. I would suggest that he is a fan of WSU, but getting caught after escaping one visit from the poleece confirmed it; he 'Couged' it. (For those not familiar w/ that term of endearment; the WSU Cougars have a knack of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, sorta like the Mariners. or the Republicans) |

| #3 Could be he was employed to preserve the status quo marketing system in the face of marijuana legalization? |

It does sound like a target and plan. |
