KILLEEN (February 3, 2010)—Cliffton Montague, 23, who police say is convicted felon from Virginia, was in the Bell County Jail Wednesday charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon after an arrest that gave passengers aboard a HOP bus in Killeen a few anxious moments.
According to a police affidavit, witnesses called 911 after Montague boarded the bus Monday night in downtown Killeen and reported that the man was carrying a gun.
The Killeen police officer who responded was forced to draw his gun before Montague surrendered, police said.
Officers found the gun under Montague’s seat and some marijuana in his jacket pocket, police said.
Montague was convicted in 2008 in Virginia of damage to property and robbery, police said.

I don't think it was a HOP bus. What are the real facts? I'm sure it wasn't a HOP bus. Trailways or independent bus?
He wouldn't have to carry a gun to be scary, look at him, he looks like trouble, bet there's more to his history than a gun and some pot...glad they got him....
Well atleast he looks like a nice fellow
