In a recent incident near the United States Capitol, United States Capitol Police apprehended a 35-year-old man from Julian, California. The suspect, identified as Philan-Tam-Duy Le, was apprehended on Tuesday afternoon following the discovery of a guillotine in the bed of his pickup truck, which was found parked illegally near the U.S. Capitol complex.
Le was taken into custody shortly after 3 p.m. as Capitol police investigated the purpose behind the man's journey from California and the transportation of the unusual contraption. The exact motive behind Le's actions remains unclear at this time. It is worth noting that a guillotine, an instrument of capital punishment, was commonly used during the French Revolution in the late 18th century.
