A man accused of making threats against the White House was taken into custody Thursday after an eight-hour standoff with police outside the Federal Building, according to a report on www.ktla.com.
The suspect made an unspecified threat against the White House, according to a law enforcement source.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan identified the suspect as Joseph Moshe, 56, of Los Angeles.
After several refusals to surrender to officials, Moshe withstood four rounds of tear gas tossed through his car window before officers fired a taser gun at him.
Police pulled Moshe from the car\'s driver seat and took him into custody. Authorities said Moshe is wanted on two misdemeanors but did not provide details.
