The woman, Christina Montoya, was arrested after traveling to the nation’s capital. Police were first notified about her by the Secret Service, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

“Through the detectives’ investigation, 41-year-old Christina Montoya of San Antonio, TX, was arrested and charged with Carrying a Pistol without a License, Possession of an Unregistered Firearm, and Threats Against a Former President,” police said in a statement.

The incident comes just weeks after Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump narrowly survived the attack, receiving a bullet wound to his ear.

The assassination attempt is currently the subject of multiple investigations by the FBI, the Secret Service and Congress. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following a devastating hearing in which both Republicans and Democrats called for her removal.
