"Bryant approached a group of National Guard members Aug. 24. He allegedly made statements to the effect that he was "strapped," "these are our streets" and "I'll kill you." The National Guard members understood "strapped" to mean that Bryant was armed. Bryant then approached additional National Guard members and "threw his left shoulder" into the left shoulder of one of them, making physical contact, the emergency motion said. The National Guard members told the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., about the confrontations."
"Bryant was first arrested Aug. 25 by members of the Metropolitan Police Department. He was arrested by federal officers at his home Aug. 27. The federal charges against Bryant are assaulting, resisting or impeding officers; impeding a federal official by a threat; and threatening to kidnap or injure a person, according to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. A bond hearing was postponed to Sept. 12, according to a docket entry on PACER."
