Orlando, Fla. — An Orlando man with a gun, hired for security was arrested Thursday on the campus of the University of Florida.

Moments before the start of the controversial speech by white nationalist Richard Spencer, Alachua County Sheriff Deputies arrested Sean Brijmohan, 28, on a charge of carrying a firearm on school property.

According to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, a deputy saw Brijmohan walking with a gun on his waist and under his shirt. Brijmohan does posses a concealed carry license, deputies said.

It's not known which media organization Sean Brijmohan was hired by or what security firm he is employed by.

The streets of Gainesville were empty hours before Spencer's speech, with only media and uniformed law enforcement officers lining streets of the university.

Protesters shouted, "Not in our town! Not in our state! We don't want your Nazi hate!"
