Drunk man in car on South Beach had 5 loaded guns and a bullet-resistant vest, cops say

He said Miami Beach detectives are now working with intelligence and ATF agents to find out “why he had the weapons and what his intentions might have been.”

Miami Beach cops say Goldammer came to their attention because his Ford F350 pickup truck was blocking the Ocean Court alley at Fourth Street around 1:40 a.m. The engine was running, but Goldammer wasn’t driving, an arrest report said. Goldammer “was slouched to his right side with his head leaning toward his right shoulder,” according to the arrest report, which also noted liquid stains on his shirt.

Officers say the pickup truck exuded a strong odor of alcohol once Goldammer rolled down the window. They spotted two bottles of Yeungling beer, one empty and one partially consumed, in the center console. Also lying on the center console: “two unholstered black firearms.”

After watching Goldammer almost fall as he stepped out of the truck, the report says, cops patted him down and found a loaded .357 Magnum revolver in his front waistband. He refused to do field sobriety tests, according to police.

The charges were not for the long gun, but for the two handguns found in the console and the one in his waistband. It’s not illegal to own a semi-automatic rifle. But it’s illegal to open carry in Florida — and as far as police could tell, he did not have a concealed weapons permit.

They’re looking into whether the rifle was stolen or how it was acquired.
