Three people are in custody after U.S. Capitol Police found a suspicious van parked minutes away from the Supreme Court Building.
According to FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergham, the Capitol Police K-9 Unit picked up something in question within the vehicle located on the 100 block of East Capitol Street.
U.S. Capitol police said they detained two men and one woman who told them they were in the area to deliver documents to the U.S. Supreme Court. After police said the driver — 80-year-old Tony H. Payne of Tunnel Hill Georgia — admit the vehicle contained weapons inside, officers found three guns: two handguns and a shotgun. A pipe and containers were also later found in the van, so the USCP Hazardous Incident Response Division conducted a search and cleared the van.
