EMERYVILLE — A San Leandro man carrying a loaded gun inside a hotel was arrested Tuesday after a guest called police to say he was knocking on her door.
James Cornn, 29, was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a gun after police responded to the Courtyard by Marriott at 5555 Shellmound St. at an undisclosed time Tuesday. He also is suspected of being a felon in possession of ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm and carrying a concealed weapon, police said.
According to police, a hotel guest called police and reported that a man was knocking on her door and that she believed he had a gun. When officers showed up, they contacted hotel security and were told the man was standing in the fifth-floor lobby.
When officers contacted Cornn, he was cooperative, police said. He told officers he had a gun in his right front jacket pocket and followed their instructions. One of the officers then removed the gun from Cornn’s pocket without incident and took him into custody, police said.
The woman who called police was not injured.
