NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: We go back now to Kelli Arena in Washington, who knows the exact charges that Robert Pickett faces after his carrying a gun outside the White House two days ago -- here's Kelli.</s>KELLI ARENA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Natalie, it is a federal charge of resisting a federal officer with a weapon. It carries a sentence of 10 years. Those charges were just filed here at U.S. District Court before a magistrate against Robert Pickett. It is just what we expected. Now Mr. Pickett will be informed of the charges against him at the hospital. He did not have to be here in person for these charges to be filed. Natalie, so that is exactly what we know at this point.</s>ALLEN: And what's the next step in this process, Kelli?</s>ARENA: Well, he will be appointed an attorney if he doesn't have one for himself. And then the issue of his mental competence -- whether or not he understands the charges that have been brought against him -- will be the next determining factor, Natalie.</s>ALLEN: Kelli Arena, thanks for the latest from that story.
