WASHINGTON, D.C. - A tragedy might have been averted near the United States Capitol on Friday afternoon, where a man was arrested at gunpoint while carrying a shotgun and a backpack containing a samurai sword. And it now appears that he is a Utah resident with a long criminal history.

Following his arrest, Gorbey reportedly told authorities that he was going to the U.S. Supreme Court building where he had an appointment with Chief Justice John Roberts at 2:00 p.m. Friday afternoon. That appointment, however, was not officially corroborated. A witness, though, also told authorities that the suspect asked for directions to the Supreme Court Building -- which is less than a block from the Capitol.

According to Washington, D.C. radio station WTOP, Gorbey is a Utah resident who has a wife and children living in West Virginia. However, WUSA-TV identifies his last-known address as being in Beaverdam, Virginia -- but acknowledges that it appears Gorbey has lived in many locations throughout the U.S. and has used multiple aliases.

Gorbey supposedly has a long criminal history that includes weapons charges in Utah and Virginia and was questioned by federal agents in 1994* for flying over restricted airspace at Camp David -- the president's official retreat.

WTOP also claims that in his reference to visiting the U.S. Supreme Court, Gorbey spoke of "taking care of business."
