Sutton Police say they found a rocket launcher in the vehicle of a car at the Red Roof Inn, and a Spencer man is now facing multiple charges.
Police say they were doing surveillance on a suspicious vehicle at the motel Monday. Detective Alexander Sinni said he spoke with the driver and noticed items usually used for illegal drug use and the rocket launcher inside his car.
Sinni said he's never come across something like this before.
"I had recognized it, my first thought was to make sure it was unloaded and secure it,” he said. “We were able to determine it was unloaded and secure the rocket launcher."
The suspect, Harvey Johnson Jr., was arrested. The rocket launcher was turned over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
