GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Landon Skylar Burke-Cooper, 19, of Lake City, was arrested early this morning after bouncers in a nightclub learned that he had a handgun with an extended magazine in his waistband.

A bouncer at a nightclub at 8 S. Main Street learned that a man on the dance floor was lifting his shirt and displaying a firearm; the club’s bouncer tried to disarm him, and a Gainesville Police Department officer reportedly saw bouncers wrestling with Burke-Cooper, trying to disarm him and remove him from the club. The officer went into the nightclub and arrested Burke-Cooper with the assistance of the bouncers.

A search incident to arrest reportedly produced a Glock 19 with an extended magazine that was loaded with 31 rounds of ammunition. Burke-Cooper is prohibited from possessing firearms because of his age and also because he was adjudicated delinquent three times as a juvenile.

Burke-Cooper has been charged with possession with a firearm by a delinquent under 24 years of age, carrying a concealed firearm without a permit, and carrying a concealed firearm during the commission of a felony. Bail information is unavailable on weekends.

Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
