   A man with materials to make explosives and an active Jan. 6-related   
   warrant was arrested by law enforcement in former President Barack Obama's   
   Washington, D.C., neighborhood, multiple sources briefed on the matter   
   tell CBS News.   
      
   Several sources identified the suspect as 37-year-old Taylor Taranto, of   
   Seattle, Washington. Secret Service spotted him within blocks of the   
   Obama's home, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the   
   matter. Taranto fled, and Secret Service chased him. He was running toward   
   the Obama home, but was apprehended before reaching it.   
      
   Taranto's van was parked close to where he was arrested. There were   
   multiple weapons and the materials to make some kind of explosive device   
   akin to a Molotov cocktail, but it had not been assembled, according law   
   enforcement officials familiar with the details. He had said he had   
   explosives, but first responders only found the materials to make them.   
      
   U.S. officials were concerned because Taranto had made threats during   
   recent livestreams on social media against a public figure. He also had an   
   open warrant on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S.   
   Capitol. He wasn't in Obama's neighborhood by mistake, a U.S. official   
   noted.   
      
   According to a senior law enforcement official, Taranto had been in   
   Washington, D.C., area for a couple of months. He had been seen camping   
   out in his van near the D.C. jail where many of the Jan. 6 defendants are   
   being held, and some of his livestreams were apparently posted while he   
   was in the D.C. area.   
      
   Taranto has been charged with being a fugitive from justice, according to   
   the Metropolitan Police Department.   
      
   The incident did not result in any injuries. It's unclear if the Obamas   
   were home at the time.
