Police in Washington, D.C., arrested a Texas woman for allegedly making threats against former President Trump and illegally carrying a firearm on Friday.
The woman, Christina Montoya, was arrested after traveling to the nation’s capital.
Police were first notified about her by the Secret Service, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
“Through the detectives’ investigation, 41-year-old Christina Montoya of San Antonio, Texas, was arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and threats against a former president,” police said in a statement.
Authorities said Montoya’s threats against Trump began on July 20.
Police located the woman’s vehicle and recovered a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield pistol, a magazine and a gun lock, according to the police report.
The incident comes just weeks after Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump narrowly survived the attack, receiving a bullet wound to his ear.
The assassination attempt is currently the subject of multiple investigations by the FBI, the Secret Service and Congress.
Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following a devastating hearing in which both Republicans and Democrats called for her removal.
Scrutiny centers on the building Crooks used as a perch to fire on the former president and why it was not within the Secret Service security perimeter.
