22h agoA comment by a New Jersey man's mother may have led to his arrest
for allegedly participating in the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol.
Robert Lee Petrosh, of Mays Landing, is charged with disorderly
conduct in a restricted building and other offenses.
A criminal complaint filed Wednesday says the FBI received a tip
that Petrosh had been in the Capitol building that day.
The tipster's grandmother allegedly heard the information from
Petrosh's mother. An FBI task force member who knows Petrosh also allegedly
confirmed his identity.
Petrosh has been released on $50,000 bond. An attorney
representing Petrosh says he will plead not guilty.
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
