A suspect who was allegedly copying Colorado’s mass shooter has been arrested in Maine.

Police caught 49-year-old Timothy Courtois after pulling him over for speeding. They allegedly found a car loaded with weapons and ammunition.

The suspect has since told police he carried a loaded gun in a backpack to a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" while on his way to shoot a former employer.
