Law enforcement officials say an armed man was arrested overnight near the home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Officials say he was armed with a handgun, a knife, and pepper spray. He was stopped near — but not at — the justice’s house. And when police detained him, he said he was there to kill Kavanaugh, these officials say.
The court confirmed some of the details in a brief statement: “At approximately 1:50 a.m. today, a man was arrested near Justice Kavanaugh’s residence. The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh. He was transported to Montgomery County Police 2nd District.”
