Secret Service agents guarding President Clinton arrested a man who raised suspicions on Martha’s Vineyard by asking about directions to the president’s vacation lodgings. Agents alerted by people who encountered him arrested Robert E. Ross, 50, of Danbury, Conn., in West Tisbury, Mass., Bristol County Assistant Dist. Atty. David Crowley told the Standard Times of New Bedford. Ross was unarmed, but he told the agents he had left guns in his car on Cape Cod. Police found a loaded .38-caliber handgun, a loaded vintage Derringer single-shot pistol and ammunition. Ross was arraigned on two counts of possessing a firearm without a permit. He pleaded not guilty and was ordered held on $10,000 bail.
