Four people have been arrested on drug and illegal weapons charges at a downtown Denver hotel close to Coors Field, but the FBI says it has "no reason to believe" the suspects posed a threat to the upcoming MLB All-Star Game.

FBI: Maven Hotel arrest not linked to terrorism or threat to public
The FBI office in Denver said Sunday there is no reason to believe the Maven Hotel incident was connected to terrorism or a threat directed at the All-Star Game. Although police sources did confirm they found body armor in the room, FBI Denver tweeted that they are not aware of any threat to the All-Star Game events, venues, players or the community at this time.
Platt and Rodriguez are also facing charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. Platt also had a warrant from another jurisdiction. Forty-three-year-old Kanoelehua Serikawa is being investigated for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, and had a warrant from another jurisdiction.
Brock was just excited to post the thread with the article. He was probably at a restaurant eating a huge meal and in between bites he saw this and figured he would be the first to post it.

What a coincidence
They had an arsenal in a high hotel room at the same time thousands would be flooding the area below for days.

DENVER – Police feared a “Las Vegas-style shooting” during the All-Star Game in Denver after receiving a tip from a housekeeper working at a hotel not far from Coors Field.
It's not a nation anymore, it's a tower of babel run by a global banking and tech oligarchy. "Diversity" to wipe out the remaining white areas so it's a mixed, easily controlled population with no identity. An open prison

This is Trump's fault. 1000 rounds is all on him. Biden wouldn't have allowed them that many rounds. You are not going to be able to fire that many rounds if attacked in a hotel room. Your weapon will overheat quickly.

Most pro gun people are trying to compensate for their small dicks. They buy pick up trucks too.
Gun- big truck = small penis.
Auto Donk is proof.

Maybe that is why they had 16 of them.
1,000 rounds isn't really that much. We probably have 1,500 or so in my house right now.

Why so many? You live in a dangerous area? Up here in Canada we don't care about guns. Sure some people have them but it's not such a big issue for us.

SBR ALARMISTS-------
DENVER (KDVR) — The FBI office in Denver said Sunday there is no reason to believe the Maven Hotel incident was connected to terrorism or a threat directed at the All-Star Game.
Although police sources did confirm to FOX31 they found 16 long guns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammo at the scene, FBI Denver tweeted that they are not aware of any threat to the All-Star Game events, venues, players or the community at this time.
“As is the case w/major special events, the FBI works closely with our law enforcement partners in preparation for & in support of public safety during these events. We continue to encourage the public to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement,” FBI Denver said.
Guests at the Maven Hotel on Wazee Street came home to a massive police and SWAT presence at their hotel Friday night.
“Once I got up to my room the hotel phone started ringing,” hotel guest Drake Voell said. “I answered, and they said for everyone to stay in their room because there was a situation. I asked what was going on and they said there was just a few people that were up to no good on the fourth and the eighth floor.”
On Saturday, DPD reported that three men and one woman were arrested in connection to the investigation on charges related to illegal possession of firearms.
Richard Platt, 42, Gabriel Rodriguez, 48, and Ricardo Rodriguez, 44, were arrested on the investigation of possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
Platt and Rodriguez are also facing charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. Platt also had a warrant from another jurisdiction.
Forty-three-year-old Kanoelehua Serikawa is being investigated for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, and had a warrant from another jurisdiction.
Voell said his grandma was staying on the fourth floor, two doors down from the room investigated. His grandmother asked what was going on.
“They said they heard a maid walked into the hotel room and she saw a bunch of guns laid out,” Voell said. “Then they found a white SUV on the road and all doors were unlocked and there was a laptop on the dashboard open, so it was a very suspicious vehicle.”
A tip from the public led to the arrests, and DPD said they searched two rooms and impounded two vehicles as part of the investigation. Investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) also are assisting DPD with the investigation.
“That incident was solely managed by police because we are so ready for things like that,” Loa Esquilin, public information officer for Denver Office of Emergency Management said.
Esquilin is part of the emergency operations center launched for All-Star Week. She says the fact that their operation center didn’t have to get involved with last night’s incident speaks volumes. “This shows that they have it together,” Esquilin said.
Esquilin says the emergency operations center has 100 plus people on standby too, including the FBI, observing and ready to respond.
“We already have shelters identified, call centers active, it’s all standing by if it does escalate, or if an incident like yesterday escalates to a bigger point where an agency is overwhelmed, we have the resources to help,” Esquilin said.
“I feel pretty safe, I feel like they definitely have it under control,” Voell said.
DPD officials say the department adjusted officer staffing to have ample resources around All-Star Week events.

I do live in the worst end of town. We actually go out target shooting, so it's practical to have ammo on hand.
It's nice to be able to hit what you are aiming at.
