‘Sedition Hunters’ helped nab National Guardsman who unleashed chemical spray on Capitol officers during Jan. 6 riot, FBI affidavit reveals – By Brandi Buchmann (Law & Crime) / Nov 13, 2023
Prosecutors unsealed charges on Monday against Gregory Yetman, a former military police sergeant and National Guardsman, who appeared in court for the first time since turning himself in after a manhunt for him unfolded in New Jersey last week.
Yetman turned himself in on Friday and remained in detention over the weekend. Police had arrived to arrest him days earlier at his Helmetta, New Jersey, home when they say he hopped a fence and took off into the woods behind his property.
Following his initial court appearance on Monday, prosecutors unsealed the case and confirmed that the 47-year-old faces multiple criminal charges including allegations that he assaulted police using a specialized device that spewed torrents of OC spray on officers defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
