Man With Ammunition, Guns Arrested Outside White House
A man from Ohio of the United States was arrested Thursday after he appeared outside the White House with ammunition and two guns, police said.
The man, whom the authorities did not identify, approached a gate on the north side of the White House and displayed "some unusual behavior," said Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin.
He told a uniformed Secret Service officer that he was carrying rounds of ammunition, which he then surrendered, Mackin said.
The man then said he had weapons nearby, and led officers to a handbag containing a .380-caliber and a .22-caliber handguns.
Mackin said the man was to be charged with possessing unregistered firearms and ammunition.
