An armed man was arrested on June 8 near the Maryland home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, according to the nation’s top court.
“At approximately 1:50 a.m. today, a man was arrested near Justice Kavanaugh’s residence. The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh,” Patricia McCabe, a spokeswoman for the court, told The Epoch Times in an email.
The man, who the court did not name, was transported to Montgomery County Police Department’s 2nd District Station, which is in Bethesda.
Kavanaugh lives in Chevy Chase, which is a short drive away.
McCabe did not answer questions seeking more details, such as whether Kavanaugh was home when the man was arrested.
The Montgomery County Police Department did not pick up the phone or immediately respond to an email about the arrest.
Protesters have regularly gathered outside the homes of Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, and other Republican-appointed justices in recent months, following the leak of a draft opinion that indicates the court is poised to strike down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established access to abortion as a constitutional right.
Justices are being protected 24 hours, seven days a week, Attorney General Merrick Garland said in May. There has reportedly been a spike in violent threats made against justices in the wake of the leak.
