A Pennsylvania man was arrested at President Donald Trump's Washington hotel early on Wednesday after police found a rifle, pistol and ammunition in his car, a discovery they said may have prevented a disaster in the U.S. capital.
Bryan Moles, 43, of Edinboro, was taken into custody shortly after checking in to the Trump International Hotel a few blocks from the White House, Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham told a news conference.
A tipster had told the Pennsylvania State Police that Moles was traveling to Washington with weapons, and the information was passed on to the Secret Service and Washington police, Newsham said.
"I believe that the officers and our federal partners and in particular the tipster coming forward averted a potential disaster here in our nation's capital," Newsham said.
