A polícia dos Estados Unidos prendeu ontem um homem que tentou atear fogo em seu veículo perto do Capitólio, conforme comunicado divulgado pelas autoridades nesta quinta-feira, 9. O suspeito, Adrian J. Hinton, de 35 anos, residente da Virgínia, colocou um saco em chamas contendo materiais inflamáveis no veículo, previamente pulverizado com aerossol.
De acordo com o comunicado, a bolsa se apagou sozinha enquanto os policiais corriam em direção ao carro. Hinton foi detido no local.
Segundo incidente no mesmo dia
Esse foi o segundo caso relatado nesta quinta no Capitólio. Mais cedo, a polícia prendeu outro homem tentando entrar no prédio portando um facão e três facas. Ambos os episódios ocorreram durante os preparativos para o funeral do ex-presidente dos EUA Jimmy Carter (1977-1981), que faleceu no último dia 29 de dezembro.
