The agents arrested Edward Jacob Lang of Tusten, New York on Saturday afternoon, the source said.
The FBI’s New York office announced the arrest in a tweet.
“Decisions and Consequences. Edward Lang is in custody for those he took in the attack on our Capitol,” said William F. Sweeney Jr., deputy director of the FBI in New York in the statement.
Special agents and FBI employees have sworn an oath to support and defend our nation’s constitution. to give other detail about the arrest.
It is not clear if Lang has received legal representation and attempts to reach his family have been unsuccessful.
Long is expected to appear before federal court in White Plains on Tuesday for his first appearance, a spokesman for the U.S. law firm for New York’s Southern District said.
Federal officials told reporters Friday that investigators had opened 275 criminal cases and charged about 98 individuals in connection with the Jan. 6 riot by supporters of President Donald Trump in the Capitol.
Investigators have chased thousands of clues in an effort to prosecute people involved in last week’s riot and prevent dreaded follow-up attacks in Washington, DC and across the country.
