Floyd Ray Roseberry, 49, from Grover in southern North Carolina, followed officers’ instructions and crawled away from the truck parked on the pavement outside the Library of Congress after allegedly streaming threats on Facebook.

His home in North Carolina is being searched by law enforcement, MSNBC reported. Roseberry appeared to have been acting alone.

Nearby Capitol office buildings were evacuated. Both the House and the Senate are on recess, meaning most lawmakers are in their home states, but staffers and Library of Congress employees were working near the scene, prompting the evacuations. Police also went door to door to alert residents in the area.

An eyewitness says she saw a man in a black pickup truck in front of the Library of Congress shouting that he had “a bomb” while tossing dollar bills out of the window.

Police have identified the man accused of making a bomb threat from his pickup truck on Capitol Hill as Floyd Ray Roseberry, according to multiple reports.

Mr Roseberry is a 49-year-old man from Grover, North Carolina, according to authorities.

On a video live-streamed to Facebook which has since been taken down, Mr Roseberry made a long, rambling speech, in which he said he was a looking to start a revolution against Joe Biden and the Democrats.

His wife told NBC News that her husband had left North Carolina on Wednesday night and told her he was going on a fishing trip.

“She says her husband has been upset of the result of the Presidential election and voted for the first time in his life for President Trump,” NBC News reported.

On the Facebook live-stream, Mr Roseberry said he had “lied” to his wife about going fishing.

“I won’t lie to her again.”

According to various reports, Mr Roseberry had a propane gas tank in his car. It’s not yet known if he could have detonated the device.
