Man arrested with weapons near DNC headquarters: Capitol Police

U.S. Capitol Police arrested a man armed in his truck with multiple knives, a bayonet and a machete near the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington.

United States Capitol Police said Monday they arrested a man in a truck who was armed with multiple knives, a bayonet and a machete near the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. A Special Operation Division Officer noticed a Dodge Dakota pickup truck with a swastika and other white supremacist symbols painted on it while on patrol around midnight outside of the DNC, according to a press release from U.S. Capitol Police. The truck allegedly had a picture of an American flag where the license plate should have been. Capitol Police say Donald Craighead, a 44-year-old man from California told them "he was "on patrol" and began talking about white supremacist ideology and other rhetoric pertaining to white supremacy." He was arrested on prohibited weapons charges.
