Little Rock police swarmed several downtown blocks tonight looking for 2 men. One was captured. That man had a loaded handgun and bag filled with fatigues, ammo, and gas mask.
The men had been contacting the Jacksonville Airforce Base claiming to be Navy Seals with top secret information.
The aiforce sent investigators to the interview the two at the Holiday Inn on I-30. Once the investigators realized the two were not in the airforce, they contacted Little Rock police.
The two men went from the Holiday Inn to the Doubletree and Capitol Hotel. Neither hotel gave the men a room.
Little Rock began searching downtown buildings a short time later.
One man, Jared Tumbleson was arrested while he was climbing down a fire escape at the Pyrmaid Place building.
Police searched for the second man using a helicopter. That man is still on the loose.
