Man held at U.S. Capitol, had rifle in truck: police
Tue Feb 10, 2009 6:03pm EST

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A man who drove up to the
U.S. Capitol complex and told police he had a delivery
for President Barack Obama was arrested by police
after telling them he had a rifle in his truck, police
said on Tuesday.

The man "told officers that he had a delivery for
President Obama so the officers began to question him
further and he admitted to having a rifle in his truck,"
said Kimberly Schneider, a spokeswoman for the U.S.
Capitol Hill Police.

CNN showed police removing a rifle from his truck.

Schneider said the man was taken into custody at the
security checkpoint without incident and charges were
pending. Schneider declined to identify the individual.
