Federal agents have arrested a 26-year-old New York resident for his alleged participation in the January 6 US Capitol riot in Washington, DC, a federal law enforcement source tells CNN.
The agents arrested Edward Jacob Lang of Tusten, New York, on Saturday afternoon, the source said.
“Decisions and consequences. Edward Lang is in custody for the ones he made during the assault on our Capitol,” FBI New York Assistant Director In Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. said in the statement.
“FBI special agents and employees have sworn an oath to support and defend our Nation’s Constitution. We will continue to track down and hold accountable those who attempt to violently subvert it,” Sweeney added, without providing any other detail surrounding the arrest.
