Deranged MAGA Supporter Who Livestreamed Capitol Bomb Threat Is Taken Into Custody

A diehard Trump supporter who claimed he had a bomb and livestreamed anti-government rants while parked outside the Library of Congress on Thursday has been taken into custody after five tense hours of negotiations.

“Moments ago, Floyd Roy Roseberry from North Carolina was taken into custody without incident,” U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger said in a 2:30 p.m. press conference.

At about 9:15 a.m., Capitol police responded to reports of a black pickup truck parked on a sidewalk, mere feet from the Capitol and Supreme Court. The driver told police that he had a bomb and a detonator in his hand, prompting the immediate evacuation of surrounding buildings, Manger said.

With snipers nearby, negotiators tried to communicate with Roseberry, 49, from Grover, who posted a Facebook livestream showing him parked outside the Court of Neptune statues on the west face of the Library of Congress, across the street from the Capitol.

At this time they did not know if he had a bomb which if detonated would have obliterated the city block. They had snipers on the scene and the guy was not really trying to conceal himself.
