FBI agents arrest Omaha man in connection with Jan. 6 siege of U.S. Capitol

Source: Omaha World Herald

An Omaha man who was steps away from a U.S. Capitol entrance during the Jan. 6 siege urged others to take a police officer’s shield and pushed forward with the crowd, the FBI says.

FBI agents on Monday arrested Brandon Straka, 44, on a federal warrant related to the storming of the Capitol.

The FBI said Straka faces federal charges of:

*impeding a law enforcement officer during civil disorder;

*knowingly entering and remaining on restricted grounds without lawful authority and/or engaging in disorderly conduct within proximity to a restricted building to impede official functions; and

*engaging in disorderly conduct with intent to disturb a hearing before Congress.

Straka's initial appearance in federal court will be Tuesday. He is being held at the Douglas County Jail.
