PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police made three arrests and seized a gun and sword from people who said they were on the way to Monday’s Occupy Portland action to shut down the port.

Officers making a traffic stop found the gun with extra ammunition clips and the sword plus walkie-talkies in a car with two men who said they were an advance team for the demonstration, Lt. Robert King said. A 26-year-old man was driving with a suspended license and the 27-year-old passenger was wanted for a parole violation, King said.

The third arrest was the driver of a stolen car that was involved in a rear-end collision near the port about 6 a.m., King said. Occupants of the car said they were on their way to the demonstration, King said.
