Two people have been arrested in D.C. after Capitol Police seized two loaded guns Monday.
It happened before 1 p.m. near the U.S. Capitol. A man approached two officers at First Street and East Capitol Street Southeast to ask for directions.
One of the officers saw a firearm handle sticking out of the front pocket of the man’s shorts.
Titus Hayes of Richmond, Virginia, was placed under arrest for carrying a pistol without a license in D.C., a news release said. The gun had a high-capacity magazine, police said.
Hayes told police that he and his wife, Nicole Carter, had a second gun in their vehicle that was along East Capitol Street Southeast. Another handgun was found in the glove box.
