"Standoff Started With Two Cars In Breakdown Lane
Earlier on Saturday, State Police Col. Christopher Mason told reporters the incident started around 1:30 Saturday morning when a state trooper noticed eight-to-10 men attempting to fuel their vehicles in the breakdown lane on I-95. The trooper noticed the men were in military-style uniforms and carrying rifles and handguns. Mason said the group said they came from Rhode Island and were heading to Maine for "training."
The men could not produce licenses to carry or drive, Mason said, and at some point, some went into the woods. Two of the men were arrested while the remaining seven members barricaded themselves on the highway. Residents in the area of North Avenue, Parker Road and Ash Street in Wakefield and Reading were told to shelter in place, and businesses in the area were told to not open.
"We are hopeful that we will be able to revolve this peacefully with them," Mason said, adding that time is on authorities' side.
Mason said he is not aware of any specific demands the group has made.
In social media accounts uploaded from the scene, the men have said they are not anti-government, extremists or anti-police, but rather taking a law-abiding trip.
Mason said the self-professed leader of the group has also stressed to authorities are not anti-government. But police also said the men do not recognize U.S. laws."
