Police: Armed men go to Wal-Mart to prepare for doomsday
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police say a group of men with semi-automatic weapons and body armor went to a Kentucky Wal-Mart to prepare for doomsday.
Lexington Police Lt. Jackie Newman tells the Lexington Herald-Leader (http://bit.ly/2anfYnk) that officers were called to the Wal-Mart on Saturday night after people reported seeing men inside a car wearing body armor and holding weapons. A six-month old baby was also in the car.
The men told police they were preparing for doomsday and needed supplies.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police found marijuana in the car and cited the men for the drugs, but did not charge them with any other violations. Police say a license is not required to have a semi-automatic weapon in a car.
Lexington Police spokesman Richard Willoby says the men were not doing anything criminal with the weapons.
