Secret Service officers arrested a Venezuelan man near the White House on Thursday evening after he allegedly said voices told him to kill President Donald Trump.
Officers approached Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos after seeing him acting suspiciously in a car parked on Constitution Avenue, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Friday in a news release.
The car had been reported stolen, and officers found three guns, including a rifle, and dozens of rounds of ammunition.
Chrinos faces weapons charges, along with charges of theft, receiving stolen property, and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
