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. 

Senate advances bill to avert government shutdown after stripping Manchin energy permitting provision

A bill to avert a government shutdown cleared a key procedural hurdle in the Senate Tuesday after lawmakers stripped a proposal from Sen. Joe Manchin on energy permitting reform from the legislation. 

By a vote of 72-23 the Senate agreed to proceed to debate on the temporary funding bill, which will keep government services operating until Dec. 16. This sets Congress on track to likely clear the bill through both chambers and send it to President Biden’s desk before government funding runs out midnight Friday. 

MANCHIN ENERGY PERMITTING PROPOSAL STRIPPED FROM FUNDING BILL AFTER GOP, PROGRESSIVE OPPOSITION

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said that the Manchin, D-W.Va., proposal was the only sticking point in their chamber. And House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., has been adamant his chamber won’t allow a government shutdown. 

MANCHIN ‘DIDN’T EXPECT’ REPUBLICANS TO JOIN BERNIE SANDERS IN OPPOSITION TO ENERGY PERMITTING BILL

“It is unfortunate that members of the United States Senate are allowing politics to put the energy security of our nation at risk,” Manchin, said in a statement announcing he would ask Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to remove the permitting reform from the funding bill.
