DENVER (AP) – In Denver, a man who tried to carry two hunting rifles and two pistols into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's downtown hotel remains in police custody.

A Secret Service spokesman says Pelosi and other guests briefly left the hotel during Saturday's incident but were never in danger.

The man is identified as 29-year-old Joseph Calanchini of Pinedale, Wyoming. He faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon. Police officers at the Grand Hyatt hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case at the entrance and detained him.

It's not known if the weapons were loaded.

A Pelosi spokesman says "the speaker was never in any danger and she appreciates the quick and professional response of the police."
