Floyd Ray Roseberry told a federal judge he has not taken his “mind medication” and was ordered to undergo a mental competency hearing.
WASHINGTON — A man who claimed he had a bomb in a pickup truck near the U.S. Capitol, prompting evacuations and an hourslong standoff with police, told a federal judge Friday he has not taken his “mind medication” and was ordered to undergo a mental competency hearing.
Roseberry, 49, of Grover, North Carolina, drove a black pickup truck onto the sidewalk outside the Library of Congress around 9:15 a.m. Thursday and began shouting to people in the street that he had a bomb.
Roseberry surrendered after about five hours. Police later said they did not find a bomb but did collect possible bomb-making materials.
