U.S. Capitol Police said Monday that officers made an overnight arrest on the driver of a pickup truck on Capitol Hill for allegedly having "prohibited weapons," according to a news report.

Capitol Police have identified the person arrested as Donald Craighead, 44, of California, and say he was armed with multiple knives, a bayonet and a machete. The arrest happened at about midnight, NBC News also reports.
The truck also allegedly had a picture of a U.S. flag where the license plate should have been.
