Man arrested near Kavanaugh’s house indicted for attempted murder

A California man who was arrested near U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s residence has been indicted for attempted murder of the justice.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment on Wednesday against Nicholas John Roske, a 26-year-old Simi Valley, California resident, after he allegedly traveled to Maryland to kill Kavanaugh.

Montgomery County police arrested Roske last week after he called the county’s Emergency Communications Center saying he was having suicidal thoughts, had a firearm and came to Kavanaugh’s residence to kill him.

Officers found a range of weapons in Roske’s backpack and suitcase, including a Glock 17 pistol with two magazines and ammunition, a hammer, a crowbar and pepper spray.
