The FBI manhunt for Gregory Yetman, wanted in connection with the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, has come to an end. On Friday morning, Yetman turned himself into the Monroe Township Police without incident.
Amy Thoreson, a spokeswoman for FBI Newark, said that the FBI received numerous tips and calls from the public in the 48-hour manhunt. Yetman faces several charges, including felonies such as assaulting officers, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, as well as some misdemeanor offenses.
Earlier this week, the FBI released photos showing Yetman on Jan. 6 when hundreds stormed the Capitol. Law enforcement zeroed in on a home on Main Street in Helmetta, keeping the road closed for hours. He allegedly hopped a fence and ran toward train tracks near a heavily wooded area.
Yetman is a former New Jersey National Guard police sergeant who is accused of pepper spraying officers during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. He is now in custody and awaiting trial.
The FBI has thanked the public for their help in apprehending Yetman. This is the latest development in the ongoing investigation into the events of Jan. 6. The FBI is continuing to investigate and is asking anyone with information to come forward.
