A California man accused of flying across the country with plans to break into Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s home to assassinate him was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury, officials said.
The single count of attempting to kill a U.S. judge added new details about what authorities say Nicholas Roske, 26, had with him when he arrived via taxi cab to the conservative justice’s home just after 1 a.m. in Chevy Chase, Md., last week.
In addition to a gun, burglary tools and a pair of boots with padded outer soles that could allow stealth movement inside a house, the indictment asserts that Roske brought 37 rounds of ammunition, a black mask, a “speed-loader,” a gun-mounted aiming laser and “hard-knuckled tactical gloves.”
