A Capitol Police officer made contact with the unidentified man when he was seen parked in the middle of the intersection near the U.S. Capitol, according to a police report from the Metropolitan Police Department.

He was arrested for having a black Sig Sauer 9mm handgun and ammunition, according to the report.

The arrest comes weeks after hundreds of rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop Senate confirmation of President Joe Biden. Five people, including a policeman, were killed. Security was tightened across Washington after the Jan.6 uprising and continued until the presidential inauguration last week.

Information about the lawyer and other additional details were not immediately available.
