WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal grand jury has indicted a California man who was found with a gun, knife and pepper spray near the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after telling police he was planning to kill the justice. The single-count indictment against Nicholas John Roske was announced Wednesday. It charges the 26-year-old from Simi Valley with attempting to murder a Justice of the United States. Prosecutors say Roske traveled to the justice’s home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with the intent of killing Kavanaugh. Authorities say he pulled up near the home in a taxi shortly after 1 a.m. on June 8 carrying a suitcase with a gun and ammunition, along with a tactical chest rig with pepper spray, a knife and burglary tools.
