A Massachusetts man is facing serious charges after allegedly attempting to enter the U.S. Capitol with dangerous weapons, including makeshift Molotov cocktails, with the reported intent of targeting a member of President Trump’s cabinet.
Ryan Michael English, 24, from South Deerfield, Massachusetts, was hit with a two-count federal indictment this week. Prosecutors allege he attempted to assassinate a Cabinet member and brought dangerous weapons onto Capitol grounds. The charges were filed in the U.S. District Court by U.S. Attorney Edward R.

Police also found a green lighter in another pocket.
