| [FoxNews] The United States Capitol Police arrested a Georgia man who had weapons in his vehicle parked outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday. Officials say that USCP officers noticed a small white van illegally parked outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday at about 3:45 p.m. along the 100 block of East Capitol Street. The driver of the van told officers that he "had guns in the van," according to a statement from the USCP. When officers entered the van, they found two handguns and a shotgun, police said. While police searched the van, the driver, a woman, and another man were detained. Tony H. Payne of Tunnel Hill, Georgia, 80, was arrested and charged with unregistered firearm, unregistered ammunition, and carrying a pistol without a license. According to police, the individuals said that they were "here to deliver documents to the U.S. Supreme Court." The other two people who were detained weren't arrested. "Weapons are banned from Capitol Grounds, yet dozens of people are arrested each year for violating the law," a USCP press release states. |

| #3 What if they had uncovered a conspiracy, there's several of those going on now, and were trying to get evidence to the SCoTUS, and they were armed because thugs were after them? And in the end the thugs did catch them. Tony Payne of Tunnel Hill,who is he? What's his problem? Will we ever know? All we know is 'capitol police' heroically defended the Capitol. Again. |
