Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said later Monday that a fence will be constructed before that rally.<\/p>\n<p>The USCP said it was not yet clear if Craighead &quot;was planning to attend any upcoming demonstrations or if he has ties to any previous cases in the area.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>A Special Operation Division officer noticed Craighead&#x27;s vehicle, a Dodge Dakota pickup truck, around midnight, according to the department.<\/p>\n<p>The truck had &quot;a swastika and other white supremacist symbols painted on it,&quot; according to the Capitol Police. It also displayed a picture of an American flag in place of a license plate.<\/p>\n<p>Craighead was arrested early Monday morning for possessing the prohibited weapons, police said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This is good police work plain and simple,&quot; Manger said in a statement. &quot;We applaud the officers&#x27; keen observation and the teamwork that resulted in this arrest.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This is an excellent example of the work our officers do every day,&quot; Operational Services Bureau Deputy Chief Jason Bell said in a statement. &quot;We are so proud of these officers for their vigilance.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The arrest came less than a month after another man, North Carolina resident Floyd Ray Roseberry, forced the U.S. Supreme Court and other buildings to evacuate after he drove his pickup onto a Capitol Hill sidewalk and threatened to ignite a bomb.<\/p>\n<p>Before he was arrested, Roseberry recorded himself speaking about a coming revolution and demanding to talk to President Joe Biden. He posted those videos to Facebook before the website took down his profile.<\/p>\n<p>Security on Capitol Hill ramped up dramatically after the Jan. 6 invasion, when hundreds of former President Donald Trump&#x27;s supporters stormed the building where Congress had gathered to confirm Biden&#x27;s Electoral College victory.<\/p>\n<p>After the attack, a 7-foot-tall fence was erected around the Capitol and thousands of National Guard members were deployed to the area. Those measures were in place through Biden&#x27;s inauguration, which was already subject to precautions due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>That fencing will make a return in preparation for a &quot;Justice for J6&quot; rally set for Saturday, Manger told reporters at the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The fence will go up a day or two before and if everything goes well it will come down very soon after,&quot; he said after briefing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on the upcoming demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>The event&#x27;s organizer, former Trump campaign staffer Matt Braynard, told CNBC there would be no violence at the &quot;peaceful protest.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is breaking news.
