Noah Latham has been charged with felony possession of a weapon. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Army soldier armed with a handgun was arrested and charged with a felony after he and a group of men were seen wearing fatigues and carrying firearms near a Black Lives Matter rally in Troy, NY, over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troy Deputy Police Chief Dan DeWolf praised his officers for arresting the men, claiming they \u201caverted what may have become a violent encounter that day,\u201d according to local media<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noah Latham, 22, is stationed in Fort Drum, a three-hour\ndrive from where he was arrested. He\u2019s been charged with a single felony count\nof second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, which carries a maximum 15-year\njail sentence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media reports also cite the arrest report, which claims Latham was in possession of a \u201cGlock-style automatic handgun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambiguity of Latham’s charges is reason for concern, according to Steve Felano of the New York gun rights group 2ANYS. The charges appear to stem from Section 400 of New York State Penal Law, and Felano said they likely relate to not having a valid pistol permit or the weapon not appearing on the permit as a possessed weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, “it is certainly suspicious that there is no mention whether or not the soldier holds a valid pistol permit,” Felano told GunsAmerica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked to clarify Latham’s charges, the Rensselaer County District Attorney\u2019s office told GunsAmerica that they do not comment on ongoing investigations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latham was with several other men who were also carrying firearms\nnear the BLM rally. The other men were also taken into custody, but no charges\nhave yet been filed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police have not said why they think the men were in Troy,\nbut one official told the media that the men arrested with Latham are from the surrounding\ncounty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latham was an advocate for Second Amendment rights. He led a petition drive<\/a> to make Jefferson County a Second Amendment sanctuary and garnered 2,326 signatures. His efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, though Jefferson County did pass a resolution in support of the Second Amendment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felano believes Latham’s advocacy work could have contributed to his charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I would not be surprised to learn that this is really about First Amendment retaliation for past Second Amendment advocacy,” he told GunsAmerica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latham is a member of the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division\nat Fort Drum in Jefferson County. He is a specialist E-4 who flies drones for\nthe division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are aware of it. We’ll let it play out,” Major\nHarold Huff, a spokesman for Fort Drum, told local media regarding Latham’s\nincarceration in the county jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troy Mayor Patrick Madden put out a statement praising the\npolice for taking the group into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I applaud the rapid response of Troy police and our\nlaw enforcement partners to an incident involving several suspicious\nindividuals carrying handguns,” the statement read. “These\nindividuals have been detained and are being questioned by Troy police. Thank\nyou to Chief Owens, our police officers, and assisting agencies in response to\nthis incident, and their professionalism demonstrated throughout Sunday\u2019s\nrally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latham is being held without bail at the Rensselaer County jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Troy police department refused to release the report of this incident to GunsAmerica, citing an ongoing investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
