SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — The FBI says a self-professed white supremacist was wearing a GPS-enabled monitoring device when he joined the crowd of Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol this month.
Bryan Betancur was arrested Sunday in Maryland. A court filing says investigators used the monitoring device to retrace Betancur’s movements on the day of the deadly insurrection.
He was wearing the device under the terms of his probation in Maryland after a burglary conviction.
His probation officer called the FBI to report that Betancur had claimed to have been inside the Capitol building with rioters and said he was tear gassed during the siege.
