Court documents submitted earlier this month stating that Capitol riot suspect Robert Morss was found to be in possession of a “fully constructed” Lego set depicting the U.S. Capitol turned out to be incorrect, the Department of Justice has announced.

In a new document submitted to the U.S. District Court of Columbia, an assistant U.S. attorney in D.C. explained that “in the original detention memoranda, the undersigned stated that law enforcement found a ‘fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set.’ Please note that after a review of the photographs from the search, there appears to have been a miscommunication and that statement appears to be inaccurate. The Lego set was in a box and not fully constructed at the time of the search.”

In the original court document filed on July 2, the DOJ noted that in its attempt to have Morss detained until trial “law enforcement recovered some clothing and other items that appear to match those he carried with him on the 6th – including a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag, a neck gaiter, a military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues. (Law enforcement also recoverd a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set.) In addition, Morss had three different firearms including a handgun, a shotgun, and a rifle.”
