Federal Way man arrested for allegedly participating in Capitol riot on Jan. 6

Last edited Fri Aug 6, 2021, 08:50 PM - Edit history (1)

A Federal Way man was arrested by the FBI Wednesday for his alleged participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in Washington D.C.

The suspect was arrested after two relatives recognized him in photos of the Capitol riot posted on Facebook by the suspects' mother, along with descriptions of events going on in the Capitol which her son allegedly relayed to her, according to court documents.

A man matching the suspect's description was also identified on CCTV footage taken from inside the Rotunda on Jan. 6, which corresponded with pictures the suspect allegedly sent his mother of his position within the Capitol.

The suspect faces charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly and disruptive conduct, alongside a charge of disorderly conduct and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

A Federal Way man was arrested Aug. 4 for his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot.

An FBI Special Agent signed an affidavit July 27 in support of an application for an arrest warrant for Tyler Slaeker, 39.

Slaeker allegedly arrived in Washington, D.C., around Jan. 4 and participated in rioting at the Capitol, entering the building “with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business,” according to the affidavit.

Two witnesses related to Slaeker through marriage submitted tips to law enforcement based on images posted on Slaeker’s family members’ Facebook pages.
