The FBI said Eric Christie initially refused to comply with federal agents' orders but surrendered without incident after three hours of negotiations.
LOS ANGELES — Federal agents took a participant in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol into custody for his alleged role in the insurrection after an hourslong standoff Thursday, authorities said.
He initially refused to comply with federal agents' orders but surrendered without incident after three hours of negotiations, Eimiller said. She would not comment on whether he was armed during the standoff. A video captured Christie yelling"this is our Capitol" into a bullhorn while the crowd rushes into the Capitol as police attempted to keep them back, according to court documents filed in connection with his California arrest.
"We disagreed with the judge's findings that he is a flight risk," Newhouse said in an email to The Associated Press."Mr. Christie will defend himself in Washington D.C. as he believes that his actions were within the zone of protection provided by the First Amendment."
