(WTAM) A tense moment at the Regal Cinemas at Crocker Park Saturday night where a man showing up to see the 10pm showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" was arrested with weapons including a fully-loaded 9 mm pistol and three knives, according to police.

37-year old Scott A. Smith of North Ridgeville was spotted by a suspicious theater manager and an off-duty Westlake police officer who was working security.  Once Smith was seated, the officer asked to see the contents of a bag the man had with him.

That's when investigators say the officer found a gun and two knives. A third knife was found under Smith's clothing.

Smith's North Ridgeville home was searched, and police found a room dedicated to guns.  They also found a gas mask.  In Smith's truck, police found a tactical vest.

Smith is jailed on four counts of carrying concealed weapons. More charges are possible.
