Ohio man found with hammer at US Capitol, tased and arrested, police say

An Ohio man was tased and arrested Friday after allegedly trying to get into the U.S. Capitol building in Washington with a hammer, police said. 

The suspect, identified as Christopher Snow, 33, was being screened by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) at around 3:40 p.m. at the Capitol Visitor Center, where his backpack went through an X-ray machine, authorities said. 

A USCP officer noticed a hammer inside the bag, police said.

“When the officer attempted secondary screening to look inside the bag, the suspect attempted to grab the bag and became combative, a police statement said. 

Several officers intervened to stop Snow and a struggle ensued, police said. 

Officers then tased Snow and took him into custody. 

The hammer was found in the bag, police said. 

“These officers did what they were trained to do and stopped this man from getting into the U.S. Capitol,” said USCP Capt. Andrew Pecher. “Great work from the officer who spotted the hammer, to the officers who quickly took the suspect into custody.”

Investigators were still trying to determine why Snow, a Canton resident, brought a hammer to the Capitol. He is charged with assault on a police officer. 

Bills’ Josh Allen blames ripped pants for mad dash from girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld’s side in Paris

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen received some backlash after a video circulating on social media appeared to show the NFL star rushing ahead of Hailee Steinfeld while the duo attended Paris Fashion Week Monday. 

But Allen quickly shot down any suggestion he was being less than a gentleman, explaining a wardrobe malfunction prompted his urgency. 

“My pants ripped at dinner,” Allen wrote in a post on X. “Didn’t want cheeks out… I love Paris.”

The video shared on TikTok shows the couple getting out of a black car and Allen rushing out first with what appears to be a jacket tied around his waist. 

The video evidence certainly backs up his story. 

The actress and singer has been linked to Allen since May 2023, but neither has publicly confirmed their relationship. 

BILLS’ JOSH ALLEN’S EX TALKS HAVING ‘SEX AND THE CITY’ MOMENT FOLLOWING SPLIT FROM NFL STAR

After another heartbreaking loss in the playoffs, the Bills are taking the offseason by storm, and that includes adding reinforcements for Allen and creating space for more. 

On Thursday, the Bills signed backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky to a two-year deal after he was cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers last month after going 2-5. Trubisky reunited with Allen after previously spending the 2021 season with Buffalo. 

The Bills also re-signed tight end Quintin Morris to a one-year deal Friday. 

Earlier in the week, Buffalo made several cap-saving moves, including the release of safety Jordan Poyer, center Mitch Morse, punt return specialist Deonte Harty, cornerback Siran Neal and running back Nyheim Hines.
