Man Arrested With Loaded Gun at Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade

Michael Monheit, 31, of Loxahatchee, was arrested at the Stonewall Pride Parade and Street Festival in Wilton Manors after attempting to enter with a loaded Glock 43 9mm handgun and two loaded magazines. Security measures at the event included metal detectors at all entrances, and Monheit triggered an alarm at the east checkpoint but ignored multiple orders from security and law enforcement to stop before being detained. Police found that Monheit did not possess a valid concealed weapons license, as his permit had been previously revoked following a Baker Act commitment. He faces charges of trespassing and unlawful carry of a concealed firearm. Authorities are continuing to investigate Monheit's motive and intentions, which remain unknown. The quick response by security personnel and police ensured the safety of the event attendees.
