A man was arrested outside of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle Sunday morning before Red Mass started, according to D.C. police.
Officers were assigned at the cathedral early Sunday morning for Red Mass, which marks the start of the Supreme Court’s annual term and is offered to members of judges, lawyers and anyone working in a legal profession.
At 6 a.m., police officers saw 41-year-old Louis Geri, who set up a tent on the steps of the cathedral. Geri was previously prohibited from the cathedral’s premises, police said.
Geri refused to leave and was arrested by police. Officers said they found multiple suspicious items inside of Geri’s tent, including vials of liquid and possible fireworks.
