A man arrested outside Saint Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington during a Catholic Mass on Sunday had more than 200 handmade explosives—including Molotov cocktails and bottle rockets—in his possession and threatened to ignite them, according to court documents filed on Oct. 6.

Louis Geri, 41, was arrested outside the cathedral during the Washington archdiocese’s annual Red Mass—a Catholic Mass offered for members of the legal profession. Supreme Court justices typically attend the Mass.
