“… According to the report, police seized items including an AR-15 rifle, .45-caliber pistol, more than 350 rounds of ammunition, and a black tactical vest with ballistic armor from White’s Ford Explorer in the area of Columbia Road and Massachusetts Avenue.

An officer asked White “why he was possessing this arsenal while operating in the City of Boston,” the report said. “Suspect White responded with a lengthy response which included that he was concerned with ‘jihadists on the highway’ and that he has ties to [the] US Military; which [is] currently conducting ‘tests’ on how to address the situation of terrorists on [the] highways.”

In a chilling aside, White also told police that terrorists could trap motorists in a matter of minutes.

“White went on to say that ‘It only takes 7 minutes to block off the highway exits’ and he needed to [be] prepared for such an event,” the report said. …”
