Capitol Police arrest a Virginia man with fake inaugural credentials, a loaded handgun and ammo

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9155125/Virginia-man-arrested-trying-enter-DC-checkpoint-gun-ammunition-fake-credentials.html

A Virginia man has been arrested for allegedly trying to enter through a Washington DC checkpoint armed with a gun, 500 rounds of ammunition and fake credentials, according to a report.

Wesley Allen Beeler, from Front Royal, Virginia, was arrested Friday evening as he tried to make his way through security checkpoints in downtown DC that have been erected ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration, CNN reported.

The outlet cited a police report and a law enforcement source which said Beeler drove his pick-up truck to a checkpoint at North Capitol and E Street NE close to the Capitol just after 6:30 p.m.

He tried to get passed cops by flashing the fraudulent inauguration documents but was stopped by officers.

Police later found the firearm and ammunition in his vehicle.

I am worried about Cruz planning to attend.

He should be wanded and patted down at the very least, as should any other GOP fascists who want to go.
