It has been noted that dozens of heavily-armed FBI and local SWAT personnel are combing the Helmetta, New Jersey area after Gregory Yetman, who is wanted on charges in connection with the January 6 Capitol protesters, fled when agents came to arrest him.
Law enforcement officials have advised the locals to remain indoors while numerous agents and three helicopters search the area. According to a CBS New York report, police have focused on a house located on Main Street in the town of Helmetta in Middlesex County and have closed off the surrounding roads for several hours.
A neighbor told the outlet that the incident kicked off shortly after 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday. “I look outside, there’s two guys here with assault rifles. Two over there. Two over there. They were all over the place. I walked outside a little bit. I asked the officer. He said go inside,” the neighbor said. “We didn’t really know what’s going on and it’s scary. What’s really scary is when it’s in your own backyard.”
Police said Yetman fled when federal agents came to arrest him nearly three years after the minor riot on January 6, 2021.
Yetman — a U.S. Army veteran — is one of thousands of January 6 protesters who have been charged by the Biden Department of Justice since 2021. Hundreds of protesters have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms, many on charges of “Obstruction of an Official Proceeding” or similar trespassing offenses.
Don’t worry America, our borders are wide open allowing terrorists in but the FBI is still hunting down J6 protesters. pic.twitter.com/E8bn1SblMm
