The Secret Service arrested a contractor outside the White House on Tuesday for an outstanding warrant that includes an attempted murder charge, CBS News Washington correspondent Paula Reid reports.

A spokesperson for the sheriff's department of Prince George's Country, Maryland, told CBS News that the department had an outstanding warrant for a person by the name of Martese M. Edwards, on an attempted first-degree murder charge, dated May 17.

The Secret Service issued the following statement to CBS News:

"On June 4, 2018, the U.S. Secret Service was notified by the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) that Martese Edwards was the subject of a warrant issued out of Prince Georges County, MD. On June 5, 2018, Edwards was promptly arrested by Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers at a checkpoint outside of the White House complex when he was reporting to work as a contractor. Edwards was transported to MPD Second District for processing."

3. I wonder what he was thinking about to get a job at the White House

and undergo the background checks... he must have known about the attempted murder charge.

Now I know he's innocent until proven otherwise, but the Con has hired women beaters and other deplorables so no surprise here.

5. I bet it was a wife/girlfriend or ex wife/gf that he tried to kill.

And people on twitter talk about their belligerance as if it is a virtue.

9. I once worked with a guy that would have murdered his ex wife if he could have

gotten away with it. He was confronted by several people who implied that they would talk to the cops if his ex-wife ended up dead. Last I knew she was alive to see her kids grow up and start families of their own, and last I saw of him, the ex husband had calmed down.
