WASHINGTON (CN) UCLA student Christian Secor was arrested Tuesday and charged for his alleged participation in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Photos show Secor sitting in the chair that Mike Pence was sitting earlier that day and pushing against doors blocked by Capitol Police.
Secor, 22, was arrested Tuesday morning at a residence in Costa Mesa, California, after FBI agents searched his home, according to FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller. In a federal court in Orange County later that day, the judge ordered that Secor be detained without bail.
