A former agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been arrested for his alleged role in the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to court filings.
Jared Wise, 51, who served as an FBI agent and a supervisory agent from 2004 to 2017, was taken into custody on Monday and released home with conditions.
The court filings indicate he was charged with four misdemeanour counts, including unlawfully entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct.
Wise was captured on closed-circuit TV footage entering through the US Senate wing door and raising his arms “in triumph”, according to a sworn statement filed in federal court.
In body-worn camera footage captured by DC Metropolitan Police, Wise addressed the officers directly, saying, “You guys are disgusting. I’m former — I’m former law enforcement. You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. You can’t see it.
“Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!”
