A New Mexico man who had been wanted for his role in the January 6 riot was arrested blocks away from the US Capitol on Sunday, according to an FBI spokeswoman.
The US Capitol Police detained Couy Griffin on the 400 block of North Capitol Street NW, and later notified the FBI, according to a statement.
He is charged with entering a restricted area of the Capitol complex. It wasn t immediately clear who he had retained as his lawyer.
