A Maryland man<\/a> was arrested for reportedly targeting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought in a murder plot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Arlington County Police Department said Colin Demarco, 26, of Rockville, is now facing charges of attempted murder, criminal solicitation to commit murder,\u00a0carrying\u00a0a concealed weapon and wearing a mask in public to conceal identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are grateful for the work of law enforcement<\/a> in keeping Director Vought and his family safe,” an OMB spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources familiar with the case told CBS News<\/a> that Demarco allegedly was targeting Vought. The outlet cited a criminal complaint as saying that Demarco is accused of trying to kill an individual with the initials “R.V.”, who, “has served as a presidential appointee.”<\/p>\n

The Arlington County Police Department said Demarco was arrested at his residence on Jan. 16, 2026, and is being held without bond at the Arlington County Detention Facility following his extradition to Virginia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“At approximately 3:15 p.m. on August 10, 2025, Arlington County Police were dispatched to the 3800 block of 7th Street S. for the report of a suspicious person. A witness reported\u00a0observing\u00a0a male suspect, who was wearing a surgical mask and rubber gloves, carrying a backpack and appeared to be concealing a firearm under his shirt, on the victim\u2019s porch,” police said in a statement Thursday. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“The suspect\u00a0subsequently\u00a0approached the witness and inquired about the victim before leaving the scene. The witness then contacted\u00a0police\u00a0and responding officers\u00a0established\u00a0a perimeter and canvassed the area for the suspect with negative results. The incident was captured on home surveillance\u00a0video\u00a0and the suspect was\u00a0subsequently\u00a0identified,” police continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“During the course of the investigation, the Arlington County Police Department executed search warrants for digital records associated with the suspect.\u00a0As a result of these search warrants, police recovered digital evidence that the suspect had obtained directions to the victim\u2019s residence, had information detailing locations of firearms\u00a0possessed\u00a0by a relative and had a guide detailing tips to prevent criminal detection,” the Arlington County Police Department added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Additionally, the suspect had posted online about the victim and had online discussions appearing to\u00a0solicit\u00a0others to murder the victim. Within days of these online solicitations, the August 10 incident occurred where the suspect arrived at the victim\u2019s address wearing a mask and gloves,\u00a0possibly concealing\u00a0a firearm and inquired about the victim. As a result of the investigation, detectives obtained\u00a0the criminal\u00a0warrants for the suspect\u2019s arrest,” it also said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Demarco allegedly said he went to Vought\u2019s home because he wanted to confront him about Project 2025, CBS News reported, citing the complaint.<\/p>\n

In November 2024, Demarco also was taken into custody in Maryland through a mental illness emergency petition, following a request for a police officer to run him over or shoot him, according to CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Demarco stated he wanted to die due to Trump being elected as president<\/a>,” the news outlet cited the complaint as saying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
