Secret Service arrests man near White House after he said he heard voices telling him to kill Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Secret Service said a suspect has been taken into custody and charged after officers found him in a vehicle near the White House with multiple guns, claiming he heard voices in his head telling him to kill President Donald Trump.
The U.S. Secret Service has arrested a suspect near the White House, charging him with having multiple guns and claiming to have heard voices instructing him to kill President Donald Trump. On Thursday night, officers approached a man in a suspicious car and subsequently found him with three firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition in his vehicle.
The suspect, identified as Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, is a migrant from Venezuela who entered the U.S. illegally through Texas in March 2024. DHS reported that he has been charged and is currently in U.S. Marshals Service custody. This arrest comes as part of a series of actions taken by law enforcement against individuals threatening President Trump or his family's safety since his re-election last year.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin commended the Secret Service, stating that "thanks to our brave Secret Service officers, this illegal alien with three firearms in his vehicle was arrested near the White House before he could harm anyone."
