I would say it depends is the property the federal building is on is it exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction, or does the gov have just proprietary jurisdiction (doesnt accept any criminal jurisdiction over it) Also you are dealing with different agencies there a uniformed division and the US Marshal it was the Marshall who hooked him up probably could use Title 18 USC 111 articulate the facts couldnt see what the Marshal saw since wife was filming the popo until the detention, The uniform division may or may not have the 111 authority I am guessing not though. ..It will be interesting to see my guess is guy ends up on a list and gets nothing out of it....Also guess is he wasnt detained for the weapon exclusively though that played into and made the rest easy to the Marshal totality of the circumstances.....hence the statement by the FBI of further charges possible...who knows though see how it plays out.

That's pretty much a catch-all because the chief justice / senior judge in that district is basically God on courthouse grounds and has broad leeway to make local regulations.

There is a lot of assumption that he was hooked up over 18 USC 930 but that was stated by the uniformed division. The US Marshal was the one who detained him and never said what it was for.
