A woman in Texas was arrested in Washington, D.C., for allegedly making threats against former President Donald Trump while carrying a firearm.
The Metropolitan Police Department apprehended the woman, who had traveled from San Antonio, Texas.
Christina Montoya, 41, was detained Friday in a residential area of northeastern D.C. by officers who located her Honda Accord.
Montoya reportedly faces charges of carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and making threats against a former president.
