What A Child Found In Boehner’s Bathroom Has Capital Police In Hot Water
Capitol police have come under fire, following reports that on three, verified occasions this year, they’ve left loaded firearms in public places.
Roll Call reported, based on the details that are available, on January 29:
…a member of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s security detail left his Glock and magazine stuffed in the toilet seat cover holder of a Capitol Visitor Center bathroom stall, a CVC worker found the gun
On March 24:
A 7- or 8-year-old child visiting the Capitol with his parents found the next loaded Glock lost by a dignitary protection officer, according to the source. A member of the security detail for John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, allegedly left the firearm in the bathroom of the Speaker’s Suite…
And on April 16:
A third Glock was found […] by a janitor cleaning the Capitol Police headquarters building on D Street NE. The weapon was left in plain sight, sparking additional concern about the department charged with protecting one of the world’s most important and frequently visited complexes.
The Hill writes that while the latter two incidents are “still under investigation,” in the former, a six-day suspension without pay was recommended by “police brass.” It goes on to note that the offices of both McConnell and Boehner have refused comment.
In an email to Roll Call, a police spokesperson commented on the situation:
