Cliffs:
- FBI had tip that 2 older armed men from Virginia were headed to Philadelphia in a Hummer with the intent of inserting themselves into the election count process, potentially in a violent manner.
- Philadelphia police were able to spot, stop, and question them while they were walking around downtown Philly before they committed any threatening or violent acts.
- Based on what the police learned in the stop, they were arrested on gun-related charges against them, as both of them were illegally carrying guns per PA gun laws, one openly without any gun license, and the other carrying concealed on a Virginia CC license, which is not recognized by PA law as valid for concealed carry there as PA has no recipication agreement with Virginia regarding such licenses.
- Other charges, including related to criminal interference in an election, may be forthconing based on further investigation.
