On Monday a 21-year-old man was arrested just blocks from the Fiserv Forum, the building where the Republican National Convention is ongoing, and was found to have a weapon and ammunition on him.

Law enforcement sources told Fox News’ Bill Melugin that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and US Capitol Police were surveilling the security perimeter of the RNC when they stopped a suspicious man wearing a mask. The man was reportedly armed with an AK47 pistol, a full magazine, and a Scream mask in a large backpack.

Milwaukee Police said that the arrest occurred at around 1 pm on Monday on the 1200 block of N 11th Street after Capitol Police observed the man "looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street."

Capitol Police performed a stop of the man and found that he was carrying a concealed weapon in his backpack and did not have a concealed carry permit.
