Police arrested a Missouri man on multiple charges after he "intentionally" crashed a U-Haul into a security barrier near the White House Monday night. Inside the truck, authorities found a Nazi flag. Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, has been charged with attempting to kidnap or kill the president, vice president, or family member.

The incident occurred just before 10:00 p.m. when the driver repeatedly crashed into the security barriers and tried to ram the truck through.

According to Politico, Kandula is also facing charges of destruction of federal property, assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and trespassing.

Via Mediaite:

Bomb technicians were called to the area to check the truck for explosives. Authorities searched the vehicle and discovered a black backpack, a roll of duct tape, a notebook, and a nazi flag with a swastika.

No one was injured, and the 19-year-old just ruined his entire life.
