Sacramento County sheriff's officials said Dalmin Muran, 29, was arrested Nov. 11 on multiple weapons charges after investigators found a large cache of weapons at his home, along with the law enforcement gear.

The arrest came after Muran was stopped by security officers at an east Sacramento high school at night.

They said he was wearing military clothes and night-vision equipment.

Muran was not booked on charges related to impersonating law enforcement, but officials said the law enforcement gear, police paraphernalia found at his home, and tips received from the public raised concerns about how he was using the gear. He was released on bail hours after his arrest.

"We have received a few messages about alarming interactions," said Sgt. Amar Gandhi of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.

Muran did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
