In Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Tampa Bay Lightning witnessed a Detroit Red Wings fan allegedly attempt to light their giant fan flag on fire as it was passed over the crowd. She was subsequently booked on an arson charge.

As you know, the deeper we go in the playoffs, the more the drama increases.

And so we’ve gone from an arrest for fire to an arrest for firearms.

Police arrested 27-year-old Lucas Cassidy of St. Petersburg – we’ll just go ahead and assume his nickname is “Butch” – on a second-degree misdemeanor charge for carrying his weapon into a facility where they are explicitly prohibited. According to WTSP, it would have been a felony charge if he didn’t have a concealed weapons permit for the gun.

But as the video shows, police take this thing a little seriously, as they perp-marched the guy out of his arena seat. Sweet old school jersey, though.

Obviously, this is a bit disturbing for Lightning fans who would, we imagine, not have an arena full of people packin’ heat. And there are metal detectors at Amalie Arena, but they’re really worthless if the people working the gates don't do follow up on the buzzer.

The Lightning told News 10 that they are conducting an internal investigation on the incident.
