Pepe was picked up by authorities around 1 p.m. Jan. 12 in a White Plains bank parking lot, a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney in Manhattan said.
He is facing charges in federal court in Washington, D.C. regarding the violent riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Previously, he was accused of participating in the protest and storming Capitol Hill, and appears to be in a photo published by Metro Police that shows him inside the building.
Pepe appeared via teleconference in federal court in White Plains in January. He is charged with trespassing on federal government property and with impeding the orderly function of government.
