FLINT, MI -- The man accused of wearing body armor and carrying a loaded pistol into a Grand Blanc Township movie theater was arraigned in federal court on charges of possessing a fake Central Intelligence Agency identification.

Not guilty pleas were entered Wednesday, Nov. 27, in Flint U.S. District Court for Cassidy J. Delavergne, who is charged with two counts of possessing imitation federal identification after he was arrested July 30 at NCG Trillium Theater on charges he had a fake ID and badge.

Delavergne was charged with a criminal information document. Delavergne's attorney, Jeffrey Clothier, said no plea agreement has been reached.

Police were called to the theater for a report of a man with a visible handgun, and officers made contact with Delavergne.

According to federal court records, the FBI was contacted by the Grand Blanc Township Police Department about the identification. Delavergne allegedly told the FBI agent he went to the theater after work wearing his 9mm pistol and body armor because he did not want to leave them in his car. Federal court documents say he told FBI agents that he had a permit to carry a concealed firearm.

Delavergne also allegedly told the FBI agent the CIA credentials he was carrying were fake and he flashed the badge at the theater so theater patrons wouldn't be alarmed about the firearm he was carrying, according to court records. He then said he showed the badge to the officers to avoid legal trouble, court documents say.

Clothier said his client was returning to his car to put his gun away at the request of the theater manager when police came up to him in the parking lot.

"He never used the credentials to get preferential treatment," said Clothier, adding that his client has a concealed pistol license and was within his rights to carry a gun in the theater.

Clothier likened what Delavergne was wearing to a costume. The movie he was seeing, "Red 2" is about a group of retired CIA officers.

A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Dec. 12. Delavergne is free on a $5,000 unsecured bond.
