The arrest took place on Interstate 65 near Bowling Green, Kentucky, about an hour and a half north of where the attack took place Monday.
“Thanks to Kentucky State Police Sergeant Tucker Carmichael & Troopers Courtney Milam & Bartley Weaver for their work in arresting Micheli on the interstate tonight,” the Nashville police said in a subsequent tweet.
MNPDNashville/TwitterMicheli was arrested less than two months ago when he tried to gain access to the White House grounds.
According to the United States Secret Service, Micheli was arrested on the evening of April 27 for Unlawful Entry and Failure to Obey when he tried to breach a vehicle checkpoint.
Micheli allegedly ignored officers’ commands and was brought into custody. It’s unclear how the case was adjudicated.
