The Ventura County man accused of threatening to kill a Supreme Court justice has been indicted for the incident.
Prosecutors say Nicholas John Roske showed up in a taxi near the Maryland home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh on June 8 with a gun, a knife, pepper spray and burglary tools.
After talking to his sister on the phone, the Simi Valley man called 9-1-1. The dispatcher kept him on the phone until he could be arrested by officers.
Investigators say he told them he planned to kill a justice because he was upset over potential anti-abortion votes by the court, as well as the possibility that the court could hamper gun control efforts. The single count indictment was issued by a federal grand jury Wednesday.
