June 3, 2022 Press Release
A Michigan man was arrested outside of the U.S. Capitol this morning after he was found with a fake badge, a BB gun, body armor, high capacity magazines and other ammunition.

Just before 5:00 am, a U.S. Capitol Police patrol officer started talking to a man who had parked his 2017 Dodge Charger near Peace Circle, on the West side of the Capitol.

The man was identified as 53 year old Jerome Felipe out of Flint, Michigan.

Felipe, who is a retired police officer out of New York, presented the USCP officers with a fake badge that had "Department of the INTERPOL" printed on it. Felipe also made a statement that he was a criminal investigator with the agency.

Felipe gave officers permission to search his vehicle. The officers discovered a BB gun, two ballistic vests, several high capacity magazines, and other ammunition in the car. No real guns were found.

Investigators are still working to determine the reason Felipe was parked near the U.S. Capitol.

Felipe is facing charges for Unlawful Possession of High Capacity Magazines and Unregistered Ammo.

1. Ok I want a high capacity magazine for

my BB gun. No one told me. Are they available on Amazon?

[underpants]

3. You'll shoot your eye out

[AllaN01Bear]

8. from the santa claus . i remember this scene well

[Ray Bruns]

20. You'll shoot your eye out.

[A HERETIC I AM]

23. Somebody's gonna lose an eye.

[riversedge]

4. hopefully it would be fake HC mag for a BB gun. One never knows what Amazon could conjure up.

10. LOL!

The officers discovered a BB gun, two ballistic vests, several high capacity magazines, and other ammunition in the car.

Yeah, what the heck? The BB gun seems oddly out of place among the other things on that list.

[LiberatedUSA]

18. It's for the insanity defense. N/t

[ret5hd]

2. Strategic probe the capital's security.

[PCIntern]

5. It's like The Great Escape

They sent Steve McQueen’s character out to do reconnaissance, and then he allowed himself to be captured so he could report.

[mahina]

15. It's the only explanation I can imagine

[TigressDem]

6. Maybe Dude was watching too much FRINGE and got himself confused with reality and such. nt

[onethatcares]

9. well he was

a retired police officer .

[VMA131Marine]

11. Just another peaceful tourist with a weapon

SMH

[Leith]

12. Lead in the water claims another victim

Why is the phrase "out of place name" used twice? It's usually just "of Flint" or "of New York." Speaking of which, which is it?

[localroger]

13. Penetration testing

If he could get through with something that takes the same amount of space to conceal as an AR, he could get through with an AR when it mattered. Time for plan B I suppose.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. So he was the ammo courier

Hope they catch the rest of them

[Patterson]

17. "The man was identified as 53 year old Jerome Felipe out of Flint, Michigan."

Is Howard Cosell writing the news reports now?

[cilla4progress]

19. Let me guess...

[Sneederbunk]

21. Sounds like a very cunning individual

Can afford the magazines but not the firearms.

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. For $25, you, too, can be a Special Agent!

24. I'm worried

about what these kooks might try to do during the upcoming public hearings.

[kentuck]

25. The closer we get to the hearings, the more crazy it gets...

Nothing brings out the crazy like the desire to protect their Leader from negative press.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

26. What's his freeper name?

[ancianita]

27. INTERPOL doesn't do investigations. That was his first fuckup. He should also be arrested for

impersonating an international agent.

The second fuckup was that he can't even speak a second language.

[Straw Man]

28. If DC is anything like NY ...

... and those magazines aren't for the BB gun, they are illegal all by themselves. You don't have to possess the ammo that goes in them or the gun that they go in. By NY statute, they are "high capacity ammunition feeding devices."
