What on God’s green earth is this and how did he even get unto White House grounds?
It’s now being reported that the Secret Service arrested a contractor outside the White House yesterday for an outstanding warrant that includes an attempted m****r charge.
Later a spokesperson form the Prince George’s Country Maryland Sherriff’s department confirmed that the department had, in fact, issued an outstanding warrant for the person by the name of Martese M. Edwards for an attempted m****r charge which was dated May 17th.
The Secret Service issued the following statement to CBS News
“On June 4, 2018, the U.S. Secret Service was notified by the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) that Martese Edwards was the subject of a warrant issued out of Prince Georges County, MD. On June 5, 2018, Edwards was promptly arrested by Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers at a checkpoint outside of the White House complex when he was reporting to work as a contractor. Edwards was transported to MPD Second District for processing.”
The Associated Press later said that the Secret Service didn’t provide Edwards’ exact job in the White House or where he worked and it wasn’t immediately clear if he has counsel of any type to represent him.
The Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Office also confirmed to FOX 5 that Edwards has an open warrant for attempted first-degree m****r. A law enforcement source told FOX 5 that the Secret Service was at the complex recently and the warrant is connected with a s******g at the apartment complex were the suspect lives.
A neighbor at the complex later confirmed she saw Edwards in a violent argument with a woman about a month ago.
“We just heard a loud noise, screaming and just glass shattering in the middle of the parking lot, and we were just like scared and then come to find out the same noise we heard traveled towards my neighbor’s door, unfortunately,” said neighbor Catrice Pinkett.”
Prince George’s County police confirmed that the s******g that is connected to Edwards happened on May 3. But detectives weren’t able to identify him as a suspect until 15 days later when a warrant was issued for his arrest
Edwards is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
