Who is Philan-Tam-Duy Le? California man, 35, arrested after guillotine found in pickup truck near Capitol
The US Capitol Police arrested Philan-Tam-Duy Le, who was allegedly carrying a guillotine in the bed of a pickup truck.
California native Philan-Tam-Duy Le, 35, was arrested by US Capitol Police on Tuesday, August 25 for allegedly carrying a guillotine in his pickup truck near the nation's capital. Police found the guillotine, fully assembled and upright, in the bed of Le's truck along the 100 block of East Capitol Street, which is situated near the Capitol and the Supreme Court.
Le was arrested on suspicion of carrying a dangerous weapon and in possession of the guillotine. He reportedly drove from his home in Julian, California, to Washington, DC, a journey of over 2,500 miles. The location of his pickup truck, parked illegally, was near two significant government buildings, raising questions about the suspect's intentions.
Capitol Police are investigating Le's background to understand the motive behind his cross-country trip to the nation's capital, where Congress is on recess and lawmakers are in their home districts.
