On Friday, the secret service arrested a man at her State Farm Stadium – where his Sunday will take place – who was inside the facilities armed with a knife, as the Washington Post said.
The memorial service for Charlie Kerk is scheduled for Sunday, with increased security measures.
Intelligence spokesman Anthony Gulili told Fox News Digital that “the man was approached by the Secret Service and during the meeting he said he was a member of the law enforcement authorities and was therefore armed. The man is not a member of the authorized law enforcement authorities working at the event and is currently in custody. “
Authorities are investigating his history and are trying to ascertain the reason for his presence at the Stadium.
Gulielmi stressed that the Secret Service, in cooperation with local authorities, is investigating the person for suspicious behavior.
More than 100,000 people, including guests such as President and Vice President Jay Di Vance, are expected to attend the Kerk funeral.
