Maryland Man Arrested After GPS Unit Allegedly Shows He Was At Capitol Riot

After the Jan. 6 insurrection, Betancur allegedly told his probation officer that he had been inside the U.S. Capitol and had been tear-gassed, according to an affidavit submitted by an FBI agent. While he later recanted some of those statements, a review of location data from the GPS unit he had affixed to his ankle for a probation violation allegedly placed him “inside the initial position of U.S. Capitol Police barricades, and inside the area restricted on that day.”
