A Maryland man is facing attempted murder charges after reportedly showing up to the Arlington home of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director Russ Vought while armed.
Colin Demarco, 26, was taken into custody Jan. 22, five months after the Aug. 10 incident.
The Arlington County Police Department announced Demarco’s arrest Thursday evening, though the arrest — and Vought’s identity as the alleged target — was first reported hours earlier by CBS News.
NBC News later confirmed, citing sources, that Vought was the would-be victim.

A Maryland man who said he feared that President Trump's reelection would lead to a "fascist takeover" is facing attempted murder charges, after he showed up at Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought's Northern Virginia home, wearing a surgical mask and gloves, according to court documents and sources familiar with the matter.
Colin Demarco, 26, was arrested on Jan. 22 by Arlington County Police on several criminal charges, court records show. He is due to appear in court on Feb. 23.

During the course of the investigation, agents with the U.S. Marshals Service also discovered that Demarco had previously claimed to be writing a manifesto and that he had also drafted a series of notes detailing everything from a weapons stash to a "Body Disposal Guide."
The court records show that Demarco is accused of plotting to murder a victim with the initials "R.V." who, according to the criminal complaint, "has served as a presidential appointee."
