MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. – A suspect who was armed with a gun and a knife was arrested near the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in Maryland Wednesday morning, Fox News reported following confirmation from law enforcement sources.

The armed suspect had made violent threats against Kavanaugh. Although the suspect’s name is currently being withheld, sources said he is in his 20s and was picked up on a nearby street and was unable to get to Kavanaugh’s private residence.

According to the New York Post, the suspect hailed from California and was incensed about the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion expected to overturn Roe v. Wade.
