Maryland man accused of plotting to murder OMB director after showing up at his home

Colin Demarco, a 26-year-old from Maryland, is accused of plotting to murder OMB Director Russell Vought after traveling from Rockville to Vought’s Arlington, Virginia home wearing a mask and gloves. Authorities say he left notes about a weapons stash and a “Body Disposal Guide,” discussed killing the president in Discord messages, and identified Vought as the target connected to Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation policy agenda. The case, investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service, involves state charges in Arlington County; Demarco claimed he was seeking a job and denied intent to harm anyone, while Vought remains under security protection amid threats tied to his role in Trump-era policies.

There is no updated timeline for the development, which faced scrutiny from local residents and transportation planners.

Rampaging Ambulance Thief Leads Police on D.C. Chase, Causing Multiple Crashes

The man accused of stealing two trucks and an Arlington County ambulance over the weekend, causing damage to multiple vehicles, had a previous arrest in Arlington in May. Darell Caldwell, a 30-year-old Maryland man, is facing federal and local charges for the incident, which involved a wild police chase across Arlington and into D.C. Caldwell has a criminal record in multiple jurisdictions and was out on bond from a recent Arlington case.
