A man accused of trespassing at a Virginia preschool had an AK-47 rifle in his car and told officers he was headed for the CIA, police said Wednesday.
Eric Sandow, 32, of Florida, was arrested Tuesday on felony possession of a firearm on school property following the incident at Dolley Madison Preschool in McLean, according to a statement from the Fairfax County Police Department.
The officers found Sandow unarmed, who told them he was «heading to the CIA,» police said. The CIA headquarters is located a mile away in Langley, an unincorporated community in Fairfax County.
A search warrant was executed on Sandow’s vehicle and two firearms were recovered.
The police shared a photo of the weapons in the apartment Twitter page. The photo showed an AK-47, a pistol, a cache of ammunition and various magazines. Police have not said why the suspect had the firearms in his car.
Sandow remains in custody at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. It is not clear if she has a lawyer.
The school did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The incident in McLean follows the arrest of a man on multiple charges after authorities said he crashed into the barriers near the White House on Monday.
Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, of Chesterfield, Missouri, made incriminating statements that told investigators he was seeking to harm the president, authorities said Tuesday.
