RPD: Four guns seized, multiple people detained and one arrested after confrontation at Lee statue early Friday

Richmond police detained several people equipped with assault-style rifles, handguns, ammunition and body armor early Friday morning after a confrontation at the Robert E. Lee monument, a department spokeswoman said.
One person was arrested.

Around 12:55 a.m. Friday, officers in the area of the Robert E. Lee circle saw several pickup trucks approach a group who had dismounted their bicycles in the traffic lanes, said police spokeswoman Amy Vu in an email.

Officers pursued the trucks making three traffic stops: in the 2700 block of Hanover Avenue, about a mile from the monument; on the Huguenot Bridge, about 6 miles away; and in the 6500 block of Three Chopt Road, a little over 5 miles from the confrontation.

Three assault-style rifles and one handgun were seized. One person was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

4. Well that was an expensive drive-by

Those assault rifles run about $1,500 apiece, I think.

But that is part of the issue. These guys don't think.

5. Heard this on the radio running an errand

Local knowledge- when I heard Three Chopt I thought they were either headed back to Goochland or Powhatan. Huguenot bridge means Chesterfield or a weird route towards the counties mentioned previously.
