Baruch Roche II, 33, attempted to enter MacDill Air Force Base. However, instead of using his ID card to gain entry, he claimed to be Captain America. As “Captain America,” Roche needed to gain access to the base so that he could talk to US Special Operations Command. Roche had secret information that he needed to provide to them. Security did not buy that explanation. A check of Roche’s car revealed an ID card showing that he was retired. This was not the only thing discovered in his vehicle.<\/p>\n

Baruch Roche II, 33, tried to enter the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa last month, saying he was “Captain America” and that he had a meeting with a U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) general to provide top secret information.<\/p>\n

He is charged with one count of attempted possession of a firearm in a federal facility.<\/p>\n

Rouche approached the military installation in a Hyundai Genesis just before 2:15 p.m. on Nov. 3, the Justice Department said Tuesday. After refusing to provide identification to security personnel, he said he was the beloved Marvel superhero character and that he was a member of SOCCOM, prosecutors said in a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

He also continued to reach for a bag in his vehicle and became argumentative, authorities said. Roche allegedly said he would come back to the base every day to look for the officers denying him entry.<\/p>\n

He eventually gave the officers his military ID showing him to be retired from the Air Force and was arrested. During a search of the car, authorities found a Colt AR-15 assault rifle in the trunk and five magazines loaded with 125 rounds of .556 caliber ammunition, the court documents said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
