BG police arrest man who reportedly came to work with hatchet, firearm, 3 knives and batons

Bowling Green Police Division arrested a man Thursday afternoon who reportedly showed up for work with a hatchet, loaded Ruger revolver with four speed loaders of ammunition, two expandable batons, two karambit style knives in holsters on his belt, a straight blade knife, and a shipping envelope with numerous syringes and vials of testosterone.

Bryan Hamilton, 23, Oregon, was arrested for criminal trespassing, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug abuse instruments. 

Police were called to a plant in Woodbridge Business Park, off Dunbridge Road, by plant management who wanted officers present as they talked with an employee suspected of possessing a firearm at the plant the previous night. The plant prohibits employees from bringing firearms on site.

Hamilton reportedly denied bringing a gun to the facility. When police asked if they could search his backpack and pat down his person, Hamilton reportedly gave consent. Officers confiscated the weapons and drugs, and took Hamilton to Wood County Jail.
