| Harold Elloit Helms |
Etowah County deputies arrested a man who they say entered a
Gadsden hospital armed with a handgun and claimed to be a Glencoe police
officer.
56 year old Harold Elloit Helms, of Glencoe, walked into Riverview
Regional Hospital on Oct. 29 with a gun openly visible on his side.
When hospital security confronted him, Helms told them he
was a Glencoe police officer assigned to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Investigators also found marijuana, drug paraphernalia and
synthetic marijuana when they searched Helms' home on Edgar Road.
Helms was arrested on Oct. 31 and charged with one count of
impersonating a peace officer, one count of first degree possession of
marijuana, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of
possession of certain chemical compounds.
He has been released from the Etowah County Detention Center
on a $14,500 bond.
The sheriff's office says the U.S. Marshals Service and FBI
assisted in the case.
