When an employee approached him, he lifted his shirt and showed the employee a gun in his waistband. Garrett admitted to showing the gun but said he did so playfully. He then reportedly hid the gun because he’s a convicted felon and can’t legally possess firearms.
The police found the gun behind a box of candy on a nearby shelf.
