Armed man in Trump hat arrested outside North Carolina polling site

An armed man in North Carolina was arrested on Tuesday after returning to a polling site he was banned from earlier in the day.

The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department said 36-year-old Justin Dunn voted at Precinct 202 on Tuesday morning, then "continued to loiter" near the voting site, prompting a call to police over fears of him "possibly intimidating other voters."

Mr Dunn, who was wearing a Donald Trump hat and carrying an unconcealed firearm, was asked to leave by a supervisor at the polling place and was banned from returning. He left voluntarily, but later returned and was arrested and taken into custody. He was charged with second-degree trespassing.
