On the weekend, police detained a 61-year-old man who allegedly entered a Dairy Queen while wearing a rainbow wig and declared his intention to "return Trump to president of the United States."

Delmont Police were called to the Route 66 Dairy Queen at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 10, after receiving a report of a guy driving recklessly while wearing a wig and fluorescent safety vest, as reported by Trib Live. The man, identified as Jan Stawovy, allegedly parked his car and entered the fast food joint while armed with a revolver.

According to Trib Live, Delmont Police Chief T.J. Klobucar, customers were present inside Dairy Queen when Stawovy walked in. It was stated that a group of people with intellectual disabilities were entering at the same time.

WTAJ-TV, citing the police report, states that upon their arrival, Stawovy told them that he was "undercover with Pennsylvania State Police working on a massive drug sting." The police say he raged at them, claimed to be a prophet, and told them he often communicates with the Almighty.

To "return Trump to the president of the United States" and "murder all the Democrats because Trump was still president," Stawovy allegedly kept repeating, per WTAJ's reporting.

Sometime earlier that day, Stawovy allegedly visited the same Dairy Queen and put $120 on the counter, explaining that it was a gratuity for "non-Democrats."

Reports indicate that a Delmont Police officer searched Stawovy's vehicle and located two firearms along with 62 bullets.

The reports state that Stawovy did not have the proper documentation to carry guns.

Live coverage from Trib Recently, Stawovy was barred from attending services at a local church due to reports of disruptive behavior on his part

According to the court documents, Stawovy has been charged with firearm not to be carried without a license, making terroristic threats with the intent to intimidate another person, engaging in disorderly behavior, and being a person not to possess/use a handgun.

Klobucar lauded Officer Greg Stull in a statement, saying that Stull "was able to prevent the danger of a mass fatality tragedy" since he got "on location within a minute of being summoned."

In an email, Klobucar expressed his appreciation to Officer Stull for his quick steps following a situation that could have gone very differently.
