A woman was arrested Wednesday outside the headquarters for the U.S. Capitol Police after police saw a gun case and the butt of a long gun in her vehicle, the police said. The woman, identified as Kery Lynn McAttee, is facing multiple weapons charges, the police said in a statement to CBS News.

McAttee parked in front of the building and told police she drove to Washington, D.C., from Michigan wanting to talk about "information she had about January 6, 2021," the police said. The arrest came less than a week after officials marked the first anniversary of the insurrection.

"At this time, there is no evidence the 58 year old suspect was coming here to do anything, except speak with our officers," the police said in the statement.

An unloaded .22-caliber rifle and a loaded .410-caliber shotgun were found in her vehicle, the police said.

McAttee was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of unregistered ammunition, unlawful possession or transportation of a semi-automatic rifle and unlawful possession of a firearm, the police said.

The agency's offices near the Capitol is also close to office buildings for the Senate and Washington's Union Station.

2. So, it reads like another nut case came to DC to report on herself. LOL.

cuz she's got info on Jan 6th. wow.


as an aside:

Vision issues caused me to mis-read Woman. Thought it said "Armed Women" ... which made me freak for a minute.

me imagining large numbers of Armed Women confronting Capitol Police. omg.

[gratuitous]

3. "No evidence the . . . suspect was coming here to do anything except speak with our officers"

Well, I know that whenever I drive through several states to the national headquarters of the Capitol Police for a little chat, I make sure to pack my long rifles, which I'm not legally entitled to possess. Nobody should read too much into that, right? Everybody's so skittish!
