At 10:11 p.m., police said a vehicle belonging to the suspect, identified as Daniel Lee Erickson, was stopped by a SMPD officer in the area of North San Mateo Drive and Bellevue Avenue where he was then arrested.

'Pepper spray, a pepper spray gun, brass/metal knuckles, and a cane sword were also located.'
Erickson was booked into the San Mateo County Jail where he faces several charges, including assault with a firearm on a person, criminal threats, possession of metal knuckles, possession of a cane sword, and unlawful possession of a tear gas weapon.

NTSB launches 3-day investigative hearing on deadly DC plane crash
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is launching a three-day hearing on the deadly plane crash that took place in Washington, D.C., in January. The crash, which involved an Army helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet, claimed the lives of 67 people. The NTSB is expected to question witnesses and investigators about the actions of the Federal Aviation Administration, air traffic controllers and the Army, according to the Associated Press. The outlet noted that it's likely too early for NTSB to conclusively determine what caused the devastating crash. In normal operating conditions, air traffic control for helicopters and planes at Reagan National Airport is handled by two operators. However, on Wednesday, the duties were combined, leaving just one person to manage both duties, The New York Times reported. The outlet, citing a source who was not authorized to speak publicly, noted that there is usually only one air traffic controller after 9:30 PM, but a supervisor let one leave early. The midair collision that left 67 dead occurred just before 9:00 PM local time. However, a person familiar with the matter explained to Fox News Digital that the positions get combined regularly if air controllers have to step away from the console for breaks, or if they are involved in a shift change. Controllers may also have to step away when air traffic is light, the person explained, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal procedures.
