Axios reports that Hopkins, 38, claimed he “forgot” the items were in his bag. He faces charges of unlawful possession of ammunition, including a high-capacity magazine.
How does someone “forget” they’re carrying illegal ammo into one of the most secure buildings in the country?
Hopkins now faces charges for unlawful possession of ammunition, including having a high-capacity magazine.
