WASHINGTON (KNX) — Authorities arrested a California man overnight who they say was outside nearby the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh while carrying a firearm.
The court said they located the man around 1:50 a.m. Wednesday with a knife, handgun, and pepper spray not far from Kavanaugh’s Maryland home outside Washington, D.C. Police alleged that while the man was detained, he admitted to plotting to kill the Supreme Court justice, NBC News reported.
“The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh.,” a statement said.
The Washington Post first reported the arrest, citing law enforcement sources.
The man was angry with the leaked draft opinion suggesting the high court could overturn the Roe v. Wade abortion decision, the Post said. Sources also reportedly told the paper the man was upset with the recent spate of mass shootings.
