The man, who was not immediately named by police, was arrested on charges of carrying a dangerous weapon, police said. Police briefly halted security screening on the north side of the visitor center but it has since reopened. The arrest came as members of the public were streaming into the Capitol to pay their respects to President Jimmy Carter, who is lying in state for a second day in the Capitol Rotunda. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to arrive to the U.S. Capitol later Wednesday, his first time in the building since he left office in 2021, to honor Carter before Trump goes to meet with Senate Republicans.
