Joseph Sean McVey, 23 had his car parked at a North Carolina parking lot and it was outfitted with police equipment.
According to the Citizen-Times, he was carrying a handgun and listening to police radio frequencies near the runway around the time President Barack Obama's flight was leaving Asheville Regional Airport.
Police charged him with going armed to the terror of the public, a misdemeanor offense, but investigators haven't yet determined whether he was attempting to target the president.
President Obama was flying out of the N.C. airport after a brief stay in the area due to the memorial service in West Virginia for the 29 coal miners who were killed in an explosion earlier this month.
There was a sticky note found in Joseph McVey's car with formulas for rifle scopes, authorities said. Police have not spoken publicly about what the formulas might mean.
