A heavily armed man who was arrested after trying to enter a Washington, D.C. security checkpoint with ‘false’ credentials, has claimed he is not a criminal and that the incident is a major misunderstanding.
Wesley Allen Beeler, 31, from Front Royal, Virginia was arrested by Capitol Police Friday evening as he tried to make his way through a restricted area in downtown DC that has been blocked off ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Court documents say Beeler had approached the checkpoint on North Capitol and E Street NE around 6.30pm and presented cops with an invalid inauguration credential.
