Scott A. Smith has pleaded to counts of carrying concealed weapons but disputes that he was carrying a weapon under a disability
Scott Smith -- the man caught carrying a Glock 9mm semi-automatic pistol, 4 knives and various medical supplies into a Westlake theater -- pleaded guilty to two counts of carrying concealed weapons today in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, according to The Huffington Post.

Mike Angelino tracked Mitchell Kuhn from Regal Cinema parking lot to near Five Guys in the Promenade, where he tackled Kuhn. Listen to the 911 call here.
Mike Angelino didn't think running from the Regal Cinema parking lot all the way to the other end of the Promenade to chase down a man who had just allegedly attacked a woman is a big deal. The day after his brave deed, he's starting to realize it may just be a big deal. He spent Wednesday fielding calls from local media and getting lots of what he called "virtual high-fives on Facebook" while doing his job as a project manager for Franciscus Roofing. "The Crocker Park people want to take me to lunch, too," he said. The attention is exciting, if a little humbling, for Angelino. "My girlfriend is calling me a hero," Angelino, who lives in North Olmsted, said. "I don't think that." Angelino, 43, and his girlfriend, Susan Monschein of Elyria…
