Man with rifle and ammunition in car arrested near residence of Kamala Harris
[Washington Examiner] A Texas man sought by police was arrested on Wednesday near the home of Vice President Kamala Harris and found to have a firearm and ammunition in his car.
Paul Murray, 31, was stopped by the Secret Service and apprehended around the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., after law enforcement was made aware of a Lone Star State police bulletin that pinned him as a wanted man. Police found a rifle and ammunition in his car, which was parked in a downtown garage some distance away from the vice president's dwelling.
Murray was booked on charges of carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside of a business, possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.
"A bunch of cops passed me at the National Cathedral, which is just up the road from the observatory," Andrew Leyden, a former Capitol Hill staffer who witnessed the arrest, told CNBC. "What was really odd was it was marked units and unmarked units."
