Police arrested an armed Texas man on Sunday who allegedly said he was on his way to a nearby church to fulfill "a prophecy," authorities said.
Tony Albert, 33, was arrested in Seguin, Texas, about 40 miles northeast of San Antonio, at around 7 a.m., when a woman called to report an armed man wearing a surgical face mask and tactical-style clothing, according to the town's police department.
Responding officers said Albert was "oddly dressed" and claimed he was heading to a nearby church to carry out an undisclosed prophecy, the Seguin Police Department said.
"An SPD officer, who was off-duty at the time, was the first on the scene and observed an oddly dressed male wearing tactical style clothing, a surgical face shield, carrying a loaded firearm and extra ammunition," department spokesperson Tanya Brown said in a statement Sunday. "During the investigation, officers revealed that 33 year old Tony Albert was allegedly en-route to unidentified church to fulfill what he called a prophecy."
