Suspect in Capitol bomb threat charged with threatening to use weapon of mass destruction

A man who parked his pickup truck near the U.S. Capitol on Thursday and claimed to have explosives — setting off a five-hour-long standoff with police, along with the evacuation of several buildings in the area — was charged in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Floyd Ray Roseberry, 49, of Grover, North Carolina, has been charged with the use, threat, or attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and use or attempted use of an explosive device. The first charge comes with a maximum sentence of life in prison, while the latter comes with up to 10 years. While appearing remotely in federal court Friday, Roseberry claimed he had not taken his blood pressure or "mind" medicines in a few days but said he had trouble remembering how long he had been detained. "Not having my medication is going to make things difficult," Roseberry said. "I don't know what today is."
