Man in custody after being found in vehicle near White House with guns

Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos has been taken into custody and charged by US secret service after being found with multiple guns in a vehicle near the White House, allegedly claiming voices in his head instructed him to kill President Donald Trump. The arrest occurred on Thursday night after secret service officers approached a man "acting suspicious" in a parked car, as reported by Homeland Security.

According to officials, Chrinos stated that voices in his head were urging him to come to the nation's capital and carry out the assassination of the Republican president. Upon further investigation, authorities discovered that the suspect's vehicle had been reported stolen and that he possessed three firearms along with a substantial amount of ammunition.

This incident marks the latest in a series of arrests involving individuals who have threatened the life of President Trump or his family members since his return to office last year. Chrinos, described as an immigrant from Venezuela who entered the US illegally through Texas in March 2024, has been charged and is currently in US Marshals Service custody.

The White House declined to comment, instead referring to the statements from DHS and the US secret service.
