Man pleads guilty to White House weapon charge; he and woman ordered held till trial An Iowa man pled guilty Monday in D.C. Superior Court to possessing a firearm near the White House. RJ "Renae" Kapheim, 43, pled guilty to misdemeanor charges of possession of an unregistered firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition after his Nov. 19 arrest in the 1500 block of Alexander Hamilton Place NW. At the time of his arrest, Kapheim allegedly told police that the president had called him and asked him to come to the White House. Authorities found a Marlin rifle model 336A with a black scope in the car's back seat, according to court charging documents. Judge John McCabe ordered Kapheim to remain in D.C. jail until his Jan. 26 sentencing. In a separate hearing of a second recent defendant charged with having a weapon near the White House, April Debois, of Mount Morris, Mich., began sobbing before Magistrate Judge Frederick J. Sullivan ordered her to remain in jail until her next hearing. Prosecutors said Debois, 23, was arrested Thursday with a loaded handgun and told officers that she had "the right to defend ourselves" and that she wanted to speak to someone at on the Supreme Court. Debois's public defender, Lula A. Hagos, argued the gun was not loaded, but that her client had a clip of bullets in her pocket. Hagos argued her client should be released with a condition to stay away from the White House. But Sullivan said Debois was a "danger" to the community and ordered her to remain in jail until trial. "People have the right to visit the president or call him a dirty name," Sullivan said. But when you come around the president with a gun you have gone over the line, in my opinion. Debois's next hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
