Kyle Odom, the suspect in the shooting of Idaho pastor Tim Remington, was finally arrested this week outside the White House.

In a statement, the Secret Service said former marine Kyle Odom threw some things over the south fence of the White House on Tuesday night and was immediately arrested. Odom is the suspect in the shooting of Altar Church pastor Tim Remington on Sunday, a day after the minister prayed with presidential candidate Ted Cruz in a campaign rally.

However, police have not found any evidence that the shooting was politically motivated, the report adds.

Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said Odom was able to fly to Washington after the shooting in Idaho despite a felony warrant on national database, Fox 2 Now relays.

Hours before the arrest, KXLY reported that someone had posted a message on Odom's Facebook page.

"Things are not what they appear to be. The world is ruled by ancient civilization from Mars. Pastor Tim was one of them, and he was the reason my life was ruined," the Facebook statement says. "... I shot Pastor Tim 12 times, there is no way any human could have survived that event. Anyway, I have sent my story to all the major news organizations. I have no time, I have to go."

Police in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho had earlier said that Odom has a history of mental illness. White also revealed that Odom had sent media outlets a manifesto addressed to President Barack Obama. The manifesto also contains 50 names of Congressmen and dozens of Israeli officials under the section "noteworthy Martians."

In addition, the manifesto threatens another pastor from Altar Church, Pastor John Padula. As a precaution, White said that pastor was placed under police protection.

Meanwhile, Pastor Padula has revealed to the Associated Press that Remington has already gained consciousness and is now able to talk to his family.

Kyle Odom's family has issued a statement expressing relief that no other person has been hurt in the incident. The family has also asked for privacy amid the situation.
