WASHINGTON (77WABC/AP) — A man carrying a gun, a knife and zip ties was arrested today near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house in Maryland after threatening to kill him.
26-year old-Nicholas John Roske of California was identified in a criminal complaint charging him with the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice. The New York Post reporting Roske telling authorities he got the address on line and he was angry over the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the school shooting in Uvalde, Tx which left 19 children and two teachers dead.
He was dressed in black when he arrived by taxi just after 1 a.m. outside Kavanaugh’s home in a Washington DC suburb. Roske had a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a knife, pepper spray, duct tape and other items that he told police he would use to break into Kavanaugh’s house and kill him.
