The search for a New Jersey man who attended the Jan. 6 riots at the United States Capitol ended on Friday morning after a two-day FBI manhunt.
Gregory Yetman turned himself in to custody in Monroe Township on Friday morning, authorities said, via CBS News. Yetman fled while being served a warrant early Wednesday morning, hopping a fence and running toward train tracks in a heavily wooded area, authorities said.
The FBI released photos of Yetman being at the Capitol on Jan. 6. At the time of the riot, Yetman served as a military police sergeant in the New Jersey National Guard, according to USA Today, with the force confirming that he served for about 12 years until March 2022. Videos from the riot showed Yetman appearing to pepper-spray U.S. Capitol Police officers and protesters.
Yetman has denied pepper-spraying anyone, and he told USA Today he did nothing wrong.
