Very hard to tell from the footage. I originally thought the black grip was a late gen poly semi auto but I'm not even sure anymore. The holster profiles more for a revolver and looks mis-matched, though plenty of wheel guns have a knob like profile grip. Doesn't necessarily narrow it down to anything rare. There is always the possibility it's a dummy gun or something weird like a pistol gripped knife or taser. We just can't tell from these captures.

what happens if you tase someone with a pacemaker? eek

The name of a detained person of interest isn't necessarily ever made public, right?

No, detainment doesn’t mean the person is charged with a crime. Recall Charlie Kirk — some random guy was arrested and released and it still took a few days to find the real culprit.

TMZ has confirmed that a person of interest has been detained by The Pima County Sherriff's Office.

A law enforcement source involved in the investigation tells us it is not a member of the Guthrie family.

I thought he looked drunk not real sloppy but been to the bar drunk. Acted on a bad idea if it was for ransom?

Imo

Nervousness.

 

[Marzipan]

Or that. But flower stems? Not in my playbook! lol

Pretty sure the other inmates are going to be calling him Flower Boy — or something more creative. He’ll never live that one down.

If the address that came up on google is correct, then it is approximately 22 minutes away.

What address is this? Is there a source for this?

another poster or a news commentator thought he tried to grab camera and couln't get a good grip on it so may have used the lantana to help grip the camera. this makes more sense but let's just hope his bulb isn't that bright

ok that makes some more sense...still not a strategy...and I mean who preps like he did and doesn't plan for a doorbell camera??

When I saw him picking flowers, I thought maybe he was a gardener.

So:
a person of interest interest has been detained and is in custody
and a location connected with them is being searched
[as per my last post link]

Before we all get too excited, I think they may have caught the person that sent the bogus ransom request. I can only hope they found NG as well.

JMO

Still though, I do hope they are 1 in the same but if not, the person who did this ransom put this poor family through hell, doing video's etc trying to get their mother back. I'm not saying this is the person but if it is, I hope they rot! IMO

Yeah, you can see him look for something to use before he grabs the plant.

 

[HoveringWombats]

Regarding this "south of Tucson" location, do we have any info on whether that correlates with the direction the SWAT vehicles went in?

 

[SlimPickens]

Just a matter of time before someone leaks a name, IMO.

 

[BigCityAccountant]

Not sure if relevant, but on Flight Radar there is a LifeNet Arizona helicopter in Tumacacori, AZ right now.

Let hope they found her! Crossing my fingers

 

[CowgirlMama]

I hope they find NG!

Sounds like it can cause issues but it’s not likely to do so. Then again, this is an amateur we’re talking about, not a cop that’s trained on how to use it: TASER conducted electrical weapons and implanted pacemakers and defibrillators - PubMed
