White House Intruder Was Arrested in July With Trove of Weapons
The man who scaled the White House fence on Friday and ran into the front door of the presidential residence had been arrested in July by Virginia State Police with a cache of automatic weapons, a sniper rifle and “a map of Washington, D.C., with writing and a line drawn to the White House,” law enforcement officials said.
During the summer, Omar Gonzalez of Texas was arrested driving a 1996 Ford Bronco after leading Virginia troopers on a high-speed pursuit along Interstate 81 in Southwest Virginia. After being stopped, police found the car filled with weapons and the map, according to a release by the state police.
