A 27-year-old man who brought a firearm to a parking garage near the site of Donald Trump's rally in The Woodlands was released without charge shortly afterward because he has a handgun license, authorities said Monday.

The man was detained Friday after he was seen abandoning a black backpack, which contained an unloaded revolver, in a garage near The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, authorities said.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Secret Service, which provides security for the presumptive Republican nominee, questioned the man before determining that he had not violated any state or federal law, said Capt. R.V. Silvio of the sheriff's office.

Silvio said two arrests were made at the rally, which drew thousands of people to the suburban hotel. Perry Osborn-Johnson, 27, of Houston, and Michael Adam Read, 42, of Cypress, were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
