A man has been arrested by police in Loveland, Colorado, after he held two door-to-door salesmen at gunpoint because they looked like "Antifa members".

According to a release Saturday from the Loveland Police Department, the suspect, identified as Scott Gudmundsen, 65, called police on Thursday evening to inform them that two members of the anti-fascist activist group Antifa were going door-to-door in the 2400 block of Dawn Court.

Gudmundsen told the 911 dispatcher that he would track the two men down and hold them for the police.

When officers arrived at the scene, Gudmundsen was found holding the two men at gunpoint with a rifle and he was described by another concerned 911 caller as wearing tactical gear.

The news release identified the two men as being in door-to-door salesmen in their early twenties. They were doing roofing inspections after a recent hail storm and were dressed in white surgical masks, polo shirts that showed their company name, and shorts.

According to reports, one of the salesmen is black and a student-athlete at Colorado State University, but due to the ongoing investigation, school officials have declined to identify the player.

CSU issued a statement cited by the New York Post in support of the student, whose identity is protected because he is a victim of crime.

"Our student is a young man of color, while the perpetrator is white," school administrators wrote. "Given what we have seen happening in cities across this county, we know all too well that this encounter could have proceeded very differently."

CSU Associate Athletic Director of Communications Kyle Neaves stated in a release to Denver7:

"Due to the on-going investigation and out of an abundance of respect for the privacy and well-being of the student-athlete and their family, we are not identifying them at this time. Please refer to the joint statement released by the University for further information."

Gudmundsen was arrested on charges of felony menacing and false imprisonment without investment. According to police, he was armed with two Glock semi-automatic pistols, and he was later released on bond from the Larimer County Detention Center.
