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.
MTA Fires Beacon Man for His Role in Capitol Building Riot
It s been over 2 months since the attack on the Capitol building and those who attended are still facing repercussions.
Following the January 6th Capitol Building riot, we learned that several people from the Hudson Valley were involved. The FBI and Washington DC Police issued photos of those who attended the protest and made their way into the Capitol in hopes that the public would report them.
Will Pepe, from Beacon, was one of the first to be recognized.
Pepe, who was employed by Metro-North, had been suspended for allegedly calling out of work sick. The MTA made a statement to The New York Post at the time explaining:
Metro North employee, Will Pepe, fired for involvement in Capitol siege

NEW YORK (WABC) A Metro North employee who was identified as one of the rioters during the Capitol siege has been fired, according to officials.
Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi made the announcement of Will Pepe s firing in a statement on Tuesday. We made it clear since the Jan. 6 attack on our nation s Capitol building that the apparent participation by one of our employees was unacceptable and inconsistent with Metro-North s values, Rinaldi said. After affording Mr. Pepe the due process to which he was entitled under his collective bargaining agreement, we have terminated him today for conduct unbecoming a Metro-North employee.
