*DENVER (AP) *– In Denver, a man who tried to carry two hunting rifles and
two pistols into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's downtown hotel remains in
police custody.

A Secret Service spokesman says Pelosi and other guests briefly left the
hotel during Saturday's incident but were never in danger.

The man is identified as 29-year-old Joseph Calanchini of Pinedale, Wyoming.
He faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon. Police officers at the
Grand Hyatt hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case at the entrance and
detained him.

It's not known if the weapons were loaded.

A Pelosi spokesman says "the speaker was never in any danger and she
appreciates the quick and professional response of the police."

Pelosi is in Denver for the Democratic National Convention.
