A man with three guns was arrested outside a bar on a popular stretch of Second Street Monday night, and police are still investigating what exactly he was doing with the weapons, according to authorities.

Reached by phone Wednesday, the man told the Long Beach Post that he was extremely drunk that night but had absolutely no intention of hurting anyone.

“Yes, it’s a bad picture,” said Ernest Gibson Jr., 34. “I was not myself.”

The incident, outside Quinn’s Pub and Grill near the corner of Second Street and Nieto Avenue, prompted a Facebook post Tuesday from the area’s councilwoman, Suzie Price, saying police had the situation under control.

“I just wanted to make sure the community was aware of the situation and knew that there is no reason to believe that this incident is part of a larger criminal operation or more elaborate criminal activity,” she said. “This is a disturbing case apparently involving a local resident.”

Police said they arrested Gibson shortly after 9:30 p.m. Monday when they started getting calls about someone with a rifle.

One caller said the man had been knocking on the front doors of the bar, Long Beach police spokeswoman Shaunna Dandoy said.

When officers detained Gibson, they found three guns on him, Dandoy said.

Gibson lives just a few blocks from Quinn’s Pub, according to jail records, which show he was booked on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, exhibiting a firearm, possessing an assault weapon and being drunk in public.

Gibson was released from jail Tuesday on $35,000 bail, jail records show.
