A man making gun-like hand gestures in a Bryan movie theater during a showing of the zombie flick World War Z Friday night caused panic for theater patrons.

Bryan police officials say Darrell Reynolds entered the Premiere Cinema theater during the 9 p.m. showing of the film and begin making hand gestures and shooting noises at the assembled patrons.

In the confusion no one could tell whether or not Reynolds had a weapon in his bands, reported Bryan's KBTX news station.

He was arrested by a Bryan police officer in the lobby, charged with disorderly conduct, which is a Class C misdemeanor that carries a $350 fine.

Bryan police spokesperson Kelley McKethan said that there was no indication that Reynolds had been drinking.

According to McKethan, Reynolds had just exited a showing of the Sandra Bullock film The Heat when he entered the theater where World War Z was showing.

Bryan police records show Reynolds has been arrested for public intoxication twice since April in Bryan, including one arrest as recent as June 29.
