WASHINGTON, D.C. – A man was arrested at a Washington D.C. inauguration checkpoint with a loaded gun and hundreds of rounds of ammo.

At approximately 6:30 p.m. on Friday, January 15, 2021, United States Capitol Police (USCP) officers stopped a suspect at North Capitol Street and E Street, NE, at a security checkpoint put in place for the Presidential Inauguration for election winner Joe Biden. The suspect presented a non-government issued credential, and the officers observed a handgun in plain sight – reportedly loaded with 17 rounds and ready to fire – in the suspect’s vehicle. A search of the vehicle also found numerous rounds of ammunition – reportedly over 500 hollow point rounds.

The suspect was placed under arrest and transported to USCP Headquarters for processing.

The suspect has been identified as Wesley Allen Beeler, 31, of Front Royal, Virginia. He has been charged with Carrying a Pistol without a License (CPWOL); Possession of Unregistered Firearm, and Possession of Unregistered Ammunition.

Beeler was reportedly released on his own recognizance but judge issued a “stay away” order from D.C. Reports say Beeler’s pickup truck has bumper sticker saying, “If they come for your guns giv ‘em your bullets first”.

Never has a president been so radically attacked by the swamp. He’s been railroaded from before day one.

He was a hired security guard and says he didn’t have anywhere near that amount of ammo. More Democrat lies.
