Man held near White House with gun in car THE US Secret Service has arrested a man after finding a hunting rifle, dozens of rounds of ammunition and a knife in the boot of his car near the White House. R.J. Kapheim, 41, was arrested on a charge of having an unregistered firearm, which is illegal in the US capital city. Kapheim was arrested after he approached uniformed officers and explained someone in the state of Iowa told him to drive to the White House. He later showed them to his car parked nearby and let officers search the vehicle. It was unclear if Kapheim had a lawyer. The Secret Service, which protects the president and his family among others, has been widely criticised in recent months after a series of serious security breaches.
