A federal grand jury indicted a 26-year-old California man on June 15 for the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The man, Nicholas John Roske, had in his possession at the time of his arrest a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, a screwdriver, a nail punch, a crowbar, a pistol light, duct tape, and hiking boots with padding on the outside of the soles, according to the FBI. Roske, arrested near Kavanaugh’s home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, told police he was upset about the leaked draft Supreme Court majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, according to an FBI affidavit.
