A Pennsylvania man staying at Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. and identified as Bryan Moles was arrested Wednesday morning after he was found with weapons and ammunition, authorities said.
What Happened?
Moles, 43, of Edinboro, Pennsylvania, was arrested in his hotel room around 2:00 A.M. Wednesday morning, Fox DC reported.
Police are said to have found a Glock 23 pistol, a Carbon Bushmaster assault rifle and 90 rounds of ammunition inside Moles’ car, which was parked outside the hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue in Northwest Washington. One of the weapons was visible inside the car while the other was found in the glove compartment.
Moles was arrested and charged with carrying a weapon without a license. It is unknown at this time if Moles was planning any sort of violent act, though police did say that Moles made threatening remarks. Investigators have yet to disclose what those threats were and who they were directed at.
There are unconfirmed reports that Moles himself is a Trump supporter.
No injuries were reported.
