Capitol Police arrested a man around 4 p.m. Tuesday as he drove to the North entrance of the Capitol and police allegedly discovered a rifle in his pick-up truck.

“He told the officers that he had a delivery for President Obama,” said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, spokeswoman for the Capitol Police.

After questioning the man further, he admitted to officers that he had a rifle in his vehicle, at which point he was arrested and the bomb squad was called in to sweep the truck for explosive materials.

Nothing more was found.

There are so many nutcases out there. Here's to keeping President Obama safe. Cheers.
