CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

A judge ordered that Scott Smith cannot have his gun back after he took it into the theater at Crocker Park last summer.  The judge also found Smith not guilty of charges of having a weapon while under disability.

Earlier this week, Smith pleaded guilty to two counts of carrying a concealed weapon.

Smith was arrested on August 4, 2012 while seated in a showing of the movie Dark Knight Rises.

An off-duty officer and movie theater manager confronted Smith because he was acting suspicious. Smith opened his backpack without a fight, and revealed a Glock 9mm handgun and three knives. Smith does not have a concealed carry permit.

Police say Smith was seated in the last row of the theater with his back against the wall. That's what police call a tactical position.

Smith will be sentenced March 21.
