The FBI said it and other law enforcement agencies are looking for Gregory Yetman, who it said is “wanted in connection with the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.”“We will be in the area staging until Yetman is arrested,” the FBI’s Newark office said in a statement Thursday morning. The FBI has set up a command operation at the local community center.Helmetta’s mayor, Christopher Slavicek, told the New York Times the search began at 8 a.m.
The mayor said there was “certainly a sense of heightened anxiety” in and around Helmetta as the search progressed. There were “search helicopters flying at tree height and various law enforcement agencies going up and down the roads,” he said. USA Today reported earlier this year that Yetman, whom it identified as a former military police sergeant in the New Jersey National Guard, had been interviewed by the FBI about his participation in the riot, and that he is suspected of firing pepper spray at protesters and police officers.Approximately 1,200 people have been charged with Capitol riot-related federal crimes. Over 800 of them have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury or judge after a trial.
