Man Parks Truck With Replica Machine Gun, Rings Doorbell: Report

LEESBURG, VA — A family woke up early Monday morning when someone was ringing the doorbell to their Leesburg home. When they looked at their Ring video, they saw a man lying down on their front porch, according to an NBC4 report.

The family called the Leesburg Police Department and a police officer arrived to check on the man. When the man rolled over, the police officer saw that he had a knife. The police officer backed away and told the man to put down the knife, NBC4 reported.

Police arrested the man, 29-year-old Nathaniel Baker, without incident, according to NBC4, and charged him with public intoxication and obstruction. The police told NBC4 he was also wearing a type of bulletproof vest under his shirt.

The man allegedly arrived at the family's house driving a pickup truck with a replica machine gun mounted on the top. The police did not tow away the truck because they said it was legally parked in front of the family's house, NBC4 reported.

Baker's court date has been set for March 19, according to the Loudoun Times-Mirror. Virginia General District Court documents say Baker is a resident of Ashburn, the newspaper reported.
