FAYETTEVILE, N.C. (WNCN) - A Fort Bragg soldier who brought an assault rifle to Cross Creek Mall July 2 appeared in court Thursday.

Bryan Wolfinger, 25, was arrested after police received multiple 911 calls of an armed gunman at the mall and found Wolfinger armed with an AR-15 rifle, bullet proof vest and multiple high capacity magazines.

Wolfinger is charged with going terror to the public.

Thursday, a Cumberland County judge continued Wolfinger's case. The judge said Wolfinger is not to possess any weapons or firearms outside of his military duties.

An attorney representing Wolfinger said his client has been fully cooperating with authorities.

"This is a regrettable situation for him or for anybody in it. I think he can best show his mindset in that he fully cooperated with law enforcement at the very initial stages, at the very first contact," said attorney David Courie.

In a written statement to police, Wolfinger said he was getting his pictures taken for a "Captain America" casting call. He says the studio told him he could bring any props he wanted and the gun he brought was never loaded.

"Given that it's a casting for a battlefield setting, I decided to use things to look the part," said Wolfinger in the statement. "I had an AR-15 without the firing pin and personal gear."

After the photo session, he says he went outside and was stopped by armed police officers who arrested him.

Wolfinger is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 27.
