SANTA ANA (CNS) - An ex-Drug Enforcement Administration agent from Orange County was arrested today on charges related to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, in which a mob of insurgents temporarily interrupted the certification of the election of President Joe Biden.
Mark Sami Ibrahim, 33, was on leave from the federal agency at the time of the Jan. 6 conflict, but was carrying his agency-issued weapon, according to court papers, which indicate the probationary employee had given notice that he was resigning several weeks before the siege.
Ibrahim, who was arrested in Washington, D.C., is charged with entering the Capitol grounds with a firearm and lying to federal law enforcement officials, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
