Just under 900 miles north of the threats to Florida’s Capitol, police officers arrested Wesley Allen Beeler on Friday night after he produced fake inaugural credentials at a checkpoint in an attempt to get his pickup truck past the security perimeter at the U.S. Capitol building. Law enforcement recovered a handgun and over 500 rounds of ammunition from inside the vehicle.

Beeler hails from Front Royal, Virginia. As of this article’s publication, little else is known about his background.

The Daily Mail reports:

The close call comes just one week after the Capitol became the site of a violent siege that left five dead.

Unprecedented levels of protection have been set up around the Capitol in the wake of the attack to prevent a possible invasion on inauguration day.

Up to 21,000 troops may be in D.C. by Jan. 19, one day before the inauguration. A contingent of roughly 10,000 National Guardsmen and airmen are already in the city. The soldiers are armed and ready to protect.

Beeler was arrested for several offenses including possessing an unregistered firearm and possessing unregistered ammunition.

    1. What you should be asking instead of saying fake news, is WHERE and WHO did he get the fake inagural credentials from to get by. Lucky some one was on there toes to see it was fake. It only takes one gun to kill some one.

      1. No gun ever killed anyone. Now the fake papers were something else. Concentrate on the man and the motive.

    2. There were times when I was carrying this or that in my motorcar that was completely unrelated to my purposes at the time and place. This was an especially frequent occurrence when I was a hunter. It may be that the man is innocent of ill intent but just was not thinking things through. This attitude that a person is suspect just because he or she has a gun is harmful to the image of one of our most basic rights as Americans. My advice is to can it now.

      1. He had FAKE credentials! He purposely tried to get in illegally! It was stupid and most likely planted by the Demon-rats to make people think it is a Trump supporter to help get the spineless Republicans to vote for impeachment!

    1. I just hope and pray No Trump Supporters will be stupid enough to go anywhere near the capitol or anywhere in the US to protest with or without a gun !
      Truly this is what the Left wants you to
      do. Don’t play into their hands! Our President has asked us not to
      and we should listen !!!
      Donald J Trump will always be the people’s President and we should respect his wishes. We should wait for him to be able to speak to us again.
      Stay calm!! 🙏🏼

      1. If anybody goes there, they will most likely be planted there by The Democrats themselves, ,(that’s the kind of stuff they do)

  1. They NEED “how many” Troops to protect USELESS TRAITORS calling themselves “politicians”….??? who are also HATING our Military…..!!!!!

  2. 1990 Bosnia Jesus Christ himself appeared with his mother to 6 children in bosnia, two important things jesus said about the united states, 1 jesus said the American people will have to take the country back from the crooked government, 2 jesus said a new government will be set up in a different state, their was no date given when this will happen, only that it will happen

  3. Seriously you need to stop with the “violent death” count. 1 unarmed patriot was shot.
    2. Had a stroke no verification he was the one hit with an extinguisher. The other 3. Died of medical problems. So 1 died violently. Now compare that to how many BLM has killed.

  4. Big question here exactly what the hell is unregistered ammunition??? Never knew ammo had a serial number to allow it to be “registered”. Methinks part of this article is Liberal hyperbole to make this seem worse than it is. Stupid and ignorant Liberals.

    1. I have been trying to get that question answered for days! I think it had to be the corrupt and vindictive mayor of DC .

      1. The mayor wouldn’t have that authority. Surely NSA, the Pentagon, Sec. of Army and others would be involved but President Trump is still Commander in Chief and without his order/approval it would be illegal, I think, but don’t know. Twenty six thousand and from all 50 states, unheard of.

  5. Why isn’t anybody talking about “unregistered ammunition “? Since when do US citizens have to register ammunition. More fake news more BS.

  6. Well, you can expect Antifa and BLM to dress up en masse as Trump supporters, and burn the damned thing down. COUNT ON IT. Jan. 6 was just dress rehearsal. The media is in their pocket.

  7. Before the attach on the White House, or whatever it really was, no extra protection was forthcoming because of the gathering of Conservatives. D.C.’s mayor demanded no extra police or National Guard be brought in? Same with White House security? I seriously do not believe people entered the White House that easily, no way, the entire thing stinks big time. Now that it is to be a Liberal Democrat’s big day the security is so enlarged it is bumper to bumper law enforcement and National Guard armed troops. No complaints from the D.C. mayor at all. Great example of Democrat double standard for themselves but not the unwashed people of this once great country or any non-Liberal. One more thing, where are all the trolls to these comments below? Are they not being paid anymore?

  8. Why did we not have the same National Guard soldiers with knowledge to observe the election they would have found more than 30 million Forged ballots.

  9. This shows you how AAN is compromised. I said that Antifa and BLM will disguise themselves as Trump supporters, and burn the place down. They already took the statement down. They’ll take this one down, too. THERE IS NO HOPE REMAINING FOR AMERICA! IT’S GONE!!

  10. The national guard need it to inaugurate a fraud and zero to help on riots to destroy communities.
    “But this is going to be much bigger than just one account and it’s going to go on for much longer than just this day, and this week, and the next few weeks and go beyond the inauguration. We have to expect that, and we have to be ready for that.” Jack Dorsey Twit

    Twitter and Facebook ARE NOT Private companies they have gone PUBLIC as they are publicly traded.
    Mexican President Manuel Lopez Obrador, is also mounting an International Campaign Taking On Tech Companies After Trump Bans. All this “Conservative” sites should disconnect from Twitter and facebook use something else why anyone is sharing to FB or Twitter they are banning every conservative. Twitter down 15% from $52 to $45, from last week to today, make sure everyone keeps telling everyone else to help this is the war we are fighting.. This is the next path forward, first Blocksite twitter and facebook from your internet provider, the state of Idaho internet provider blocked them both, in North Dakota banned users can sue Twitter and Facebook. Use Ramble, GaB instead. Tech bubble is imminent, close twitter, FB, Instagram accounts, dump their stock if own any from your IRA, 401K check your mutual funds that have Twitter or FB included, Twitter down again, dump before they go to zero, stop buying from Amazon, NO more made in the CCP purchases, buy direct from the mom’s and pop’s stores near you, made in America only, don’t wait DO IT TODAY.

  11. Unregistered ammunition? What crazy law is this? Only in DC the place responsible for protecting our rights could they be so horribly eroded. We will probably find out this guy really has left wing ties weeks from now after he served his purpose of getting the media to make him out as an evil trump supporter so the dems can use it to strip even more rights away just look at what Biden himself is saying about the NRA and gun rights. Remember he knows his so well he recommended discharging a shotgun into the air in your community to scare off burglars. Dont know about where he lives but where I do not only is that extreamy reckless but also highly illegal. Ya this is the guy who should be making gun law decisions.

  12. The guy was obviously depressed or in some mental state, and for that I feel sorry for him, but suicide by cop is used often. They don’t have the guts to do it to themselves, so they let the cops do it. Thank God he was stopped before he could hurt someone besides himself.

  13. So if he possessed a registered firearm, registered ammunition and a valid inauguration pass there would be nothing to read about here, correct? Where does one register their ammunition these days, never heard of such a thing.
