The man charged last week with the attempted murder of Justice Brett Kavanaugh was convinced to call 911 on himself by his sister as he stood nearby the judge's Maryland home, law enforcement said Tuesday.
In a statement, Marcus Jones, the chief of police in Montgomery County, Maryland, where Kavanaugh lives, said that after noticing US Marshals posted outside the judge's home, Nicholas Roske "turned around to contemplate his next move. This is when he texted his sister and told her of his intentions and she convinced him to call 911, which he did."
CNN has reached out to his attorney for comment.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
