A 35-year-old man with a full-scale guillotine in the bed of his pickup truck has been arrested in Washington, police said.
Philan-Tam-Duy Le was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with "carrying a dangerous weapon," the US Capitol Police said in a statement.
Le's pickup truck was illegally parked on a street near the US Supreme Court building and the US Capitol at the time of his arrest.
Police said they seized the guillotine.
Le is from Julian, California, and drove to the nation's capital, police said.
"Investigators are going through the suspect's background to learn more about why he came to Washington," they said.
