An Iowa man was ordered held on $10,000 bail Tuesday after he allegedly had a rifle with a laser sight in a Chicago hotel room overlooking a Lake Michigan beach over the Fourth of July weekend, according to authorities. The 12th-floor room had a view of the Ohio Street Beach and Navy Pier, a tourist attraction in the city. Casteel of Ankeny, Iowa, was arrested at the hotel Sunday in possession of the rifle and a handgun, FOX 32 of Chicago reported. "The state describes you in possession in a hotel room of a rifle with a laser scope ... overlooking Ohio Street Beach," Cook County Judge David Navarro said. Brown did not say if investigators had determined why Casteel had guns in the hotel room.
