Just hours before New Year’s celebrations, police arrested a man on multiple charges after discovering a small arsenal of guns in his top floor hotel room at the Hyatt Regency in Houston.

An off-duty police officer noticed Russell Lawrence Ziemba, 49, acting erratically and belligerent at the hotel, reported ABC News. At 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 31, while escorting Ziemba to his hotel room, the officer called for urgent backup after his attempts to subdue the man failed.
