A man carrying a machete and other knives is arrested after attempting to enter the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center on Wednesday afternoon, triggering a swift response from Capitol police. The incident coincides with the solemn occasion of former President Jimmy Carter lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda.
Capitol Police report that the individual was stopped at the security checkpoint when an X-ray scan of his bag revealed a machete along with three additional knives. Officers immediately detained the man, who is now facing multiple charges, including carrying a dangerous weapon. Authorities have not yet released his identity. . .
