Secret Service officers arrested a man near the White House on Sunday for public urination and found nine guns and three knives in his car after taking him into custody, according to reports.
Agents approached the unnamed man by the Renwick Gallery at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW. The man told agents he was on his way to speak with National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis regarding “advice on missing paychecks and how to get the chip out of my head,” according to an incident report CNN cited.
The suspect admitted to Secret Service agents that he had weapons in his 2009 silver Nissan.
Upon searching the car, law enforcement found AR- and AK-style rifles, as well as brass knuckles, suppressors and various types of ammunition.
The man was taken in for “mental observation” before being charged for the weapons violations.
