The feds are reportedly hunting for a former member of the New Jersey National Guard who allegedly tried to pepper spray cops and protesters during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.
During the near-insurrection, Gregory Yetman, 46, was filmed picking up a large canister of pepper spray that had landed near him and pointing it toward the cops trying to protect the besieged Capitol building, according to USA Today.
The FBI posted Yetman’s picture on their most wanted list, and said he was accused of assault on a federal officer, the outlet said.
Yetman — who was a military police sergeant in the Garden State’s national guard at the time told USA Today earlier this year that he’d been at the Capitol that day, but didn’t commit any crimes.
He told the FBI the same thing after the riot, the outlet said. And he hadn’t heard from the bureau or its agents since then.
“Everything’s been resolved, everything’s good,” he said in early 2023, about two years after he and other fanatical supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed and trashed the Capitol after the Florida man’s 2020 election loss.
But now the feds — along with local and county law enforcement - are hunting for him in Middlesex County, the outlet said.
The search began around 9 a.m. Wednesday on Main Street in Helmetta, a tiny town about a half-hour northeast of the state capital of Trenton, according to CBS News.
Law enforcement was looking to pick him up on a warrant, CBS said.
But Yetman took off, and bounded into the woods, the Daily Beast said...
