Capitol Building – Man Arrested Nearby With IED, Rifle, Ammunition Allegedly Found in Jeep
A man is under arrest in Washington after an improvised explosive device, a rifle and some ammunition were allegedly found in his jeep, Capitol Police said Friday.
The man stopped to ask police for directions near the Capitol building at about 11 a.m. EDT Friday, at the intersection of 2nd and Independence Avenue Southeast, according to Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider.
The officer responding noticed a rifle case on the car seat and inspected the jeep, discovering the IED, rifle and ammunition. A canine unit was enlisted to help.
Did I miss this on the nightly news? Or was this just one of those things they didn’t think newsworthy? Oddly enough, that guy’s name wasn’t Mohammed. Evidently, he wasn’t too bright either. You don’t ask a cop for directions when you have that kind of stuff in your vehicle!
