One Man Arrested for Threats Near White House
A Pennsylvania man has been arrested and
charged with making felony threats after an investigation into a suspicious
vehicle near the White House Wednesday morning.
Krzyztof Wasik, 44, is being held by
police.
Authorities say Wasik approached one of the
guard shacks near the White House shortly before 5 a.m. and warned them a bomb
was going to detonate in a nearby vehicle.
The Secret Service, assisted by D.C. and
National Park Police, inspected the car and determined there was no bomb
inside, reported News4's Tony Tull.
The investigation led to the closure of
several District streets as a precaution, which complicated the early morning
commute. Streets began reopening around 6:45 a.m.
