Secret Service officers arrested a man near the Capitol building Tuesday for allegedly impersonating a police officer and carrying a stash of knives, according to the U.S. Capitol Police.

 

The suspect, 37-year-old Max Eli Viner, had been wanted for questioning by Secret Service, according to the press release. U.S. Capitol police spotted Viner twice Tuesday before identifying him and reported the incident to Secret Service, who promptly searched his SUV and made the arrest.

 

When searching Viner’s person, federal authorities allegedly found multiple knives and a chainsaw blade, according to the statement. Officers then searched Viner’s car, where they found shell casings, fake police equipment, a gas mask and a smoke grenade inside.

 

Viner is charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and possession of a prohibited weapon.
