MARION, Ill. (WJPF) — A man accused of taking part in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has been arrested in Marion.
Mathew Caspel, who also goes by the name Mateo Q Caspel, was taken into custody on Tuesday. He’s charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted area and resisting law enforcement.
Federal authorities say Caspel, 27, was arrested after a former neighbor and a social media friend both identified him from a video taken during the riot. Caspel was identified in part by a tattoo on his face.
Caspel is scheduled to appear before a judge via video conference Friday morning.
