Gunman from Capitol faces new charges

Published



A Silver Spring man accused of barging into the U.S. Capitol with a loaded handgun last month has been indicted on several new charges, including possession of cocaine and causing more than $200,000 in damages.

Carlos Greene, 20, has been held on one federal firearms charge since Sept. 18, when authorities said Greene eluded police in his car before crashing it on Capitol grounds and entering the U.S. Capitol. Green, who was carrying a .22 caliber handgun, was able to bypass at least three officers as he slipped through an unguarded door into the Rotunda and ran down four-stories before he was tackled by civilians.
