The intruder who evaded Secret Service and bolted into the White House on Friday was found with 800 rounds of ammunition in his car and had two prior run-ins with the law this year, officials said.
The details emerged during an initial court appearance for the suspect, 42-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez.
Federal prosecutor David Mudd said Gonzalez had hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his car, in addition to two hatchets and a machete, at the time of Friday's incident. He called the intruder a danger to the president.
