U.S. Capitol police questioned a man in the Hart Senate office building who was seen carrying a backpack containing suspicious envelopes, CNN reported Wendesday.
Via CNN’s Lisa Desjardins:
I’m in the Hart office building right now on the third floor and I’m told by multiple capitol police officers that they do have a man in custody here in this area that they are questioning and who they have ID’d. That he raised suspicion in part with the content of his backpack which police are telling me they have. In that backpack were some sealed envelopes. They also say this man crossed their suspicion radar by the way he acted, the way he responded to their questions. They felt he did not respond in a normal way. I’m also told that he made some deliveries at least in this office building. And it’s possible this is the same person connected to the letter at the Russell office building. I’m told those packages were accepted against protocol, which is why capitol police looked for this man, found him. And now I’m told by two officers here have him in a position where they are questioning him and they have ID’d him.
