A California man who allegedly made threats against Justice Brett Kavanaugh and showed up near his Maryland home has been charged with attempted murder of a U.S. Supreme Court justice. Federal court records show 26-year-old Nicholas Roske of Simi Valley, California, was angry over the recent mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and the leaked draft of the Supreme Court’s decision impacting Roe v. Wade.
The affidavit states Roske called the Montgomery County Emergency Communications Center to say he wanted to kill a Supreme Court justice. He was carrying a Glock 17 pistol, two magazines, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crowbar, pistol light and duct tape were in the backpack, per the affidavit.
The charge of attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
