Police ID Armed Man Who Said He Wanted To Kill Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh: Report

Police identified the armed suspect who was arrested near Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh‘s home early Wednesday and allegedly told police he intended to kill the jurist, according to a report.

Nicholas John Roske, of Simi Valley, California, was identified by police hours after he was arrested in the Washington suburb of Chevy Case, Maryland, Fox News reported. Roske allegedly called police on himself, leading to his arrest, and was carrying a gun, knife, and pepper spray when arrested.

Supreme Court Public Information Officer Patricia McCabe confirmed to The Daily Wire on Wednesday morning that “at approximately 1:50 a.m. today, a man was arrested near Justice Kavanaugh’s residence.”

“The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh,” she said. “He was transported to Montgomery County Police 2nd District.”

That individual was an adult male from California, who was taken into custody and transported to the Montgomery County Police Station after officers received a call at 1:40 am in the area of Kavanaugh’s chevy chase home, the Montgomery County Police Department told The Daily Wire on Wednesday.

The case has now been handed over to the FBI, the spokeswoman said, and the Montgomery Police Department is not able to comment on whether or not he had a weapon.
