The detainee explained that he went to Washington to submit documents to the US Supreme Court.
The American police on Wednesday, October 19, detained an 80-year-old resident of the state of Georgia, who illegally entered the territory of the Capitol in Washington in a minibus with weapons. This was reported by Reuters news agency on Thursday, October 20.
It should be noted that the Parliamentary Center and the US Supreme Court are located on the territory of the Capitol.
The media reported that the man explained what he had done to the police by saying that he and his two passengers intended to hand over the documents to the court. Police found a shotgun and two handguns in the driver’s van.
The man was taken into custody on charges of bringing weapons onto Capitol grounds. Two minibus passengers were also detained, but not arrested.
American law enforcement officers note that every year dozens of people are arrested while trying to bring weapons into the territory where the US Congress is located.
Remember that in the American island of St. Lawrence in the US state of Alaska, two Russians from Chukotka were detained, who sailed 400 km on a boat, escaping from mobilization.
