Iowa Man with weapons in Chicago Hotel ‘does not mean to be surprising’

Chicago: A man Iowa was arrested by police Chicago for having weapons and ammunition in a hotel room overlooking Lake Michigan beach to his officer “did not mean to surprise anyone” and just forgot to remove firearms from bags when packing to the city, a police video show.
Keegan Casteel’s arrest for a rifle with laser views and pistols in the hotel room during the fourth holiday weekend pushed the Mayor of Lighli Lightfoot and supervisor David Brown to suggest that he might intend to shoot at the crowd of naval docks from the hotel window.
The Casteel prosecutor said that the statement was baseless and spurred sensational media coverage, while his client was in Chicago to propose to his girlfriend, not to launch a mass attack.
He also suggested that the weapons make Ankeny, Iowa, men feel safer in the city driven by crime.
A message was left on Friday looking for comments from the Casteel lawyer, Jonathan Brayman, at the police Bodycam recording released Thursday.
Casteel, 32, was charged with two accusations of crime use of weapons that violated weapons after cleaning staff members on the hotel found weapons and ammunition.
The prosecutor said the large jury would review this case.
The weapon was found on the threshow of the 12th 12th hotel room with views of the coast of Ohio Street and Navy Pier, the main tourist attraction.
“Why don’t you leave firearms at home?” An officer who responded to ask Casteel in the police footage.
Casteel’s reply that he forgot to remove all firearms from his weapon range bag because he was crowded after his son was injured and was treated at the hospital before he left with his girlfriend and children for Chicago.
He said he took out weapons and ammunition from the bag and left him in a hotel room so he could use a bag on the beach.
“I didn’t expect anything to happen.
I just left it there for the day.
Go to the beach.
Back.
Go shopping,” Casteel told the officer, also added that he planned to apply for his girlfriend.
“It’s my fault.
I don’t mean to surprise anyone.
I understand 100% why I’m here.
But as I said, it is a coincidence that is honest with God,” Casteel said.
Casteel was released on $ 10,000 bonds after a judge reminded him that the arms law in Chicago was different from Iowa.
As soon as he was released from the police station, he proposed.
