Chicago

A man with a loaded handgun, wearing a bullet proof vest and carrying a bag of SWAT equipment authorities believe was stolen from New York City police has been arrested at Chicago's busiest train station.

Chicago police say 21-year-old Isaiah Malailua, from Redding, Calif., was arrested Friday morning at a Union Station ticket counter and charged with unlawful use of a weapon for wearing body armor.

Cook County Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke set bail at $100,000 and ordered Malailua to remain in the Chicago area.

Lyke says: "This is troubling, to say the least, in light of what's happening in our country."
