Feds arrest Michigan man they say joined Capitol insurrection – By Mark Hicks and Robert Snell (The Detroit News) / January 20, 2021
The first known arrest in a federal criminal case for a Michigan resident stemming from the Capitol riot earlier this month was filed Tuesday.
Karl Dresch of Calumet was in custody and expected to make an initial appearance in federal court in Marquette on Wednesday, according to FBI Special Agent Mara Schneider.
A federal filing by an FBI special agent said Dresch was arrested Tuesday after a traffic stop in Calumet.
The agent wrote there “is probable cause to believe that Dresch committed subject offenses that are under investigation, including by unlawfully entering in and remaining in the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
The instances included pictures the Upper Peninsula man allegedly posted on social media as the mob stormed the building in Washington, D.C.
