Nicholas John Roske, 26, was arrested outside supreme court justice’s home in Maryland armed with a gun and knife
A man who was arrested near Brett Kavanaugh’s home in Maryland earlier this month pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to trying to kill the supreme court justice.
Roske, who was arrested on 8 June, was armed with a gun and a knife, was carrying zip ties and was dressed in black when he arrived by taxi just after 1am outside Kavanaugh’s home in Chevy Chase, a Washington suburb in Maryland’s Montgomery county, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. Roske called county police and said he had come to Maryland from California to kill a supreme court justice, the agent wrote. Roske also told police that he had a gun in his suitcase and was having suicidal thoughts, the affidavit said.
Investigators found a pistol with ammunition, a knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, duct tape, a pistol light and other gear in Roske’s suitcase and backpack, according to the FBI.
