Authorities revealed Tuesday that a man carrying a loaded shotgun was arrested in January near the U.S. Capitol, and explosives left in his truck nearby went undetected for three weeks.[...]
He was arrested Jan. 18 for carrying the shotgun and a sword outside the Capitol. [He] told police he was headed to an appointment at the Supreme Court
[…]
U.S. Capitol Police discovered the explosive device three weeks later when they returned with a search warrant to check the truck, which was in a government parking lot.
But he’s not a terrorist. You know how I know? His name is Michael Gorbey.
Gorbey allegedly tried to manufacture a "weapon of mass destruction, that is, an explosive device capable of causing multiple deaths or serious bodily injuries to multiple persons, or massive destruction of property," according to the indictment.[...]
Court records show Gorbey is a convicted felon and has been in and out of prison since 1991 for convictions on larceny, domestic violence and illegal gun and drug charges.
So?
But, hey, it's nice to know that the DC bomb squad is on top of things, eh? Three weeks.
