A 71-year-old West Virginia man was arrested after police found him parked near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., with a gun, 20 rounds of ammunition and"Stop the Steal" paperwork in his vehicle.
The man, Dennis Westover, was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with carrying a gun without a license, possession of unregistered ammunition and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to an incident report obtained by NBC News. The incident report states that Westover was shouting at the guards in the area. When the officer approached Westover, he said he wanted"to see the fence that was around my Capitol" and told the officer that he drove from Charleston, West Virginia, that morning.
Too late. Sounds confused.
😞sad.. just sad... get over it already
Oh, that explains all the ammunition 😂🤣! These “people”.
West Virginia Don't drink the water
Beware of the new brand of Republicans. Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.' Voltaire
Why was this his way to response to those concerns? What was his best case scenario for solving this problem?
Did he get the invitation by USPS? He's 3 weeks late for the festivities.
He and his 20 rounds were going to change things how exactly ? You can't fix stupid, especially in West Virginia, where the family tree is a wreath.
And trump is still fuelling this fire and nothing is being done to stop him!🙄
You've been tweeting this for two days now. Do you mean to say it's happening every day with a different West Virginian man each time? There's enough of these whackos without news outlets attention-seeking. It is already a horrible thing! Just report the horrible things!
The election was rigged. There are so many flags on the field...the fact that counties are fighting not to have an audit is highly suspect in the ‘most secure election in history’. Why not have the audit in Maricopa county 81M votes in 16% of counties won? More than Obama..? No
There's a lot of sick people out there... literally! 😷
ChelleStenn How white was he?
The election was a fraud - you don’t have to buy the Biden lie Resist
Big deal aren’t firearms legal in DC?
Well he was late to the party wasn't he? 😂 Canadian says sorry, but joke too good to miss. 😂🇨🇦
This seems like s stunt .

Then why in the hell don't they stop ALL GOP MEMBERS from bringing firearms onto the Capital grounds !
gop GOPLeader LeaderMcConnell need to own this. They must start admitting 1st to their party & the rest that they were wrong in keeping The Big Lie rolling. Apologize & then do everything they can, at every opportunity, to give reassurance to them that it was a fair election.

If this party is able to draw a 71 year old into thinking right, on their conspiracy theories. What can be expected from younger generations. It's so unfortunate and embarrassing. Well one can say he was reacting to a 74 years old man also.
Good
Think that gun law needs some working eventually open NRA eyes and se there is a problem
Republican terrorists
He has one foot in the grave and the PAST election is his concern. 🙄
And so he was going to do what exactly...? Shoot the election? Shoot Abe Lincoln’s statue
There are more than 20 Democrats
Holy fuck just move on
This is on every feckless Repuke in DC and their leader in FL.
It took him *22 days* to drive to D.C. from West Virginia?
He should be more concerned about the integrity of the people he's been voting for and listening to.
Domestic terrorist. Call him what he is.
Remember when our parents keep talking about how the Internet will brainwash us? Turns out the boomers are the one who needed the warning.
Don't worry, Trump will produce his evidence any day now... itscoming
Trump appeared on the Russians’ radar in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. He became the target of a spying operation by Czechoslovakia’s intelligence service in cooperation with the KGB. Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years.
Toothless tantrum throwing Trump Billy.

Lock his old ass up
Another one bites the dust! Build more prisons - help the economy, by creating good paying jobs! 20 years in prison sounds about right! Especially, since your intent was to commit murder! BYE! Enjoy your stay! 👏👏👏

Oh God not 20 rounds!
Small penis gun nuts are everywhere
He was let go and told to come back for a court appearance. What exactly is the law in DC regarding unresgistered handguns? unregistered
Another brainwashed trumpet
AOC I am scared for you and your colleagues! I hope you have a security detail! 😢
But we should just let the impeachment trial go... Right? GOPLeader LeaderMcConnell
Propaganda
I'm not sure I see the problem? It is his right as an American citizen to carry a firearm. A firearm by the way he kept in the vehicle when he exited the vehicle.
Even teenagers know to bring more ammo than that.
The idiocy of these idiots
LockHimUpNow
Wowww. Granpawpaw left the farm.... In a big way. 😬
He was an idiot to go alone. He should've let the rest of us know he was going. He could've had some company.
'Election integrity'...Where have we heard that before?
Damn..
KenDilanianNBC This will continue until GOP leaders tell their followers who were told to stand by, stand down!
🤬🤬🤬🤬
DebDirtylooks WashSyndicate
This is insane 😢🤬
Hey mtgreenee Your poodle is loose.
How was he parked “near” the U.S. Capitol with all the barriers, fences, and troops?
katiecouric Jesus Mother of God.
Dude is 71 years old, and now he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail. Smh.
Some members of Congress had a better idea on Concerns on election integrity on January 6th. People stormed the Capitol and ruined peaceful means.
The capitol building needs a paint job

VennMultiverse A 71-year-old West Virginia man was arrested after police found him with a gun, 20 rounds of ammunition and 'Stop the Steal' paperwork in his vehicle. The GOP has radicalized Americans into terrorism. 😱
screen_moon stable geniuses, every last one of them
They freaking sent him home with a hearing in July? really?
KenDilanianNBC So, if any of Trump’s cult members hurt or attempt to hurt someone, can DT be arrested and booked for being a co-conspirator? Like Charles Manson? Especially since he’s now a private citizen? Maybe he should think about that.
KenDilanianNBC Please teach him to read while he is in prison.
The Democratic leaders started something they are afraid of. 😂😂😂
Very misleading headlines.
Another whack job from Trump. All this while a totally ignorant republican house & senate pretend that Trump wasn't responsible for the rioting and deaths. They want to forgive and forget an outragious act by a former U S president!!
katiecouric Dumping him in a jail cell for the rest of his ugly life!
Smh.
beriko0214 So, you have a concern = you grab semi automatic?
It's these f'ing radicalized old people! Three of my neighbors are this way! Evil old male Republicans who are now crazy. I mean crazy. American flags flying upside down, hand scrawled signs about Democrats posted.
This 71 yr old man was there because of lies by Fox news and state and national GOP. They should all be named in civil suits by the families who's loved ones have been brainwashed by their deliberate propaganda. FoxNewsKills
Maybe it's time for some people to concede the fairness of the election. tedcruz?
The republicans need to step up and disavow the lie perpetrated on the American people by a failed reality star and one term president. It was the most secure election in history. If they don’t, they bare all the responsibility.
Prosecute
Politics1com If only someone he trusted assured him the election was fair and accurate. It's incumbent on those who sowed mistrust, fear and anger to correct their misrepresentations. Until trust is rebuilt, we'll see more of this. And worse.
So not just the proud boys & members of congress but AARP too!
LOCK HIM UP! No sending him to wify or out on bail!
... remembering the BLM elderly man that was pushed to the ground, left bleeding from his head and hospitalized for several days... two different worlds. But still grateful this disturbed individual was stopped and detained safely. Stay safe everyone.
If one man, Aleksei Navalny, a Russian dissident, can put his life on the line to stand up and speak out against Putin, you would think 50 Senate Republicans could find the courage to vote to convict a president who incited a deadly insurrection to overthrow the United States.
Stupid-ass hillbilly
It's really sad what goes on in the parts of America some of us never see. I don't know anyone with a mind weak enough to believe the election fraud lie not to mention pack up a car with guns and go to DC over it. It has to be an education problem or a mental health issue.
Grrrrrrr
He should be changed to court quickly ...he is part of the infamous insurrectionists that stained America's respected democratic values....
katiecouric Put his ass in jail. The election has been over for months.
Gonna take a while to fumigate all the MAGAts
West Virginia. Literally the only state that Mississippi can make fun of
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. What a Dink.
Breaking : 'Senior citizen shows up for insurrection three weeks late'
The entire Republican GOP party must clearly state that there was no cheating in the past election by democrats. And that Joe Biden won the election fair and square. To not do this is to open our country up to more people trying to hurt others over this perceived injustice!
His concerns were accurate. His actions not so much.
