A team of United States Capitol Police (USCP) officers quickly arrested a man with a hammer who was trying to get into the U.S. Capitol.
At approximately 3:40 p.m., a man was being screened at the Capitol Visitor Center. As the mans backpack went through the x-ray machine, a USCP officer noticed that a hammer was inside of the mans bag. When the officer attempted secondary screening to look inside of the bag, the suspect attempted to grab the bag and became combative.
Several officers immediately intervened to stop the suspect. A struggle ensued. USCP officers deployed a Taser to stop the individual and take him into custody. A hammer was found inside the bag.
These officers did what they were trained to do and stopped this man from getting into the U.S. Capitol, said USCP Captain Andrew Pecher. Great work from the officer who spotted the hammer, to the officers who quickly took the suspect into custody.
The suspect has been identified as 33 year old Christopher Snow of Canton, Ohio. Investigators are working to determine why he came to the Capitol with a hammer. He is being charged with Assault on a Police Officer.
Should probably review the J6 footage for a match
