Secret Service Arrests Armed Man Near White House on Constitution Avenue
Dankzij de moed van de agenten van de Secret Service werd de illegale immigrant, die drie wapens in zijn auto had, vlakbij het Witte Huis aangehouden voordat hij iemand kwaad kon doen,
stated Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. Secret Service agents arrested a man on Constitution Avenue late Thursday evening after spotting suspicious behavior in a parked vehicle, nos.nl reported. The Associated Press reported on November 7 that a suspect has been arrested and prosecuted. The arrest took place on the evening of November 5 after agents approached a man who was behaving suspiciously inside a parked vehicle.
The suspect told law enforcement officers that voices in his head instructed him to travel to the United States capital to kill President Donald Trump. Authorities identified the man as Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos. Records show he entered the United States illegally via Texas in March 2024 and was previously apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol. The man is a Venezuelan national who stays in the United States without legal authorization.
Stolen Vehicle Yields AR-15 Semi-Automatic Rifle and Multiple Firearms
Officers inspecting the suspect’s vehicle discovered it was registered as stolen. Inside the car, law enforcement recovered three firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition. The recovered weapons included an AR-15 style rifle, a Mac 10, and a Glock 43X.
The exact location of President Trump during the incident remains undisclosed, though he spent earlier that day at the White House. Security around the executive residence features an expanded perimeter protected by high fencing.
Federal Court Charges and Immigration Hold for Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos
Federal prosecutors charged Guanipa Chrinos with multiple offenses, including unlawful transportation of firearms, unauthorized possession of firearms, receiving stolen property, and carrying a pistol without a license. Online court documents indicate he made his initial appearance on November 6 before the D.C. Superior Court, where a judge ordered him held without the possibility of bail.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement subsequently lodged a detainer request with the U.S. Marshals Service, where he remains in custody. The suspect remains in federal custody as legal proceedings advance. The arrest marks the latest in a series of security breaches and threats directed at the president and his family near the White House grounds.
