The man who authorities say schemed to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh last week had texted his sister before he abandoned his plot, police said.
“The suspect arrived by taxi and observed the U.S. marshals, and he turned around to contemplate his next move,” Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones told the Washington Post. “This is when he texted his sister and told her of his intentions, and she convinced him to call 911, which he did.”
California man Nicholas John Roske, 26, was allegedly armed with a pistol and a knife when he was taken into custody by police after he took a taxi cab to Kavanaugh’s home on June 8.
It wasn’t immediately clear what he texted to his sister or what she said in response. Also unclear is whether Roske’s sister knew he was going to Kavanaugh’s home in Maryland.

“Do you have access to any weapons?” the 911 operator is heard saying. “Yes. I brought a firearm with me, but it’s unloaded and locked in the case,” Roske allegedly said in response. “I’m standing near it, but the suitcase is zip-tied shut.
I just came from the airport.”
how did this guy travel from California to Washington DC on an airplane with a gun?
