NBCDFW.com has posted a fresh picture of the AK-47 open-carrying man in a banana costume that was arrested in front of Golden Triangle Tactical Saturday morning:

Police have cited an 18-year-old Beaumont, Texas, man who riled and worried passing motorists by standing at an intersection dressed as a banana with an assault rifle slung across his back.

Beaumont Police said in a statement on Saturday that officers determined the man was advertising for a local tactical and security store. The rifle had a drum magazine with a 50-round capacity.
