A diplomatic security officer with the U.S. Department of State was arrested Tuesday on allegations related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Kevin Alstrup was taken into custody by the FBI in Washington, joining more than 1,200 individuals who have been charged for their connections to the Capitol breach, which disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress in the process of affirming the previous year’s presidential election results.
