During a post-arrest interview, the suspect admitted he came to the bar to "self-investigate 'Pizza Gate'" police said.
#Pizzagate refers to a fake news story that falsely claimed Hillary Clinton, aided by campaign chairman John Podesta, kidnapped, molested and trafficked children in the backrooms of a pizza restaurant called Comet Ping Pong in Washington, D.C.
Dozens of fabricated articles on #pizzagate and the child trafficking ring appeared on Facebook and conspiracy theory websites such as The New Nationalistand The Vigilant Citizen.
The New York Timesdebunked the story after the owner of Comet Ping Pong, James Alefantis, and his employees started getting abusive messages and death threats on their social media accounts.
The rumors also spread on Reddit, which eventually led management to intervene by closing the dedicated subreddit, citing problems with users posting an individual's private information, which violates the platform's terms and conditions.
Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong, released a statement on Sunday night denying what he called the "malicious and utterly false accusations" and said the company hoped to resume normal operations within a few days.
"I hope that those involved in fanning these flames will take a moment to contemplate what happened here today, and stop promoting these falsehoods right away," Alefantis said in the statement.
