US Capitol Riot: Florida man accused of being in riot was arrested at the inauguration

A Florida man knew he was wanted by authorities for being at the US Capitol riots but returned to Washington, DC, to attend the inauguration, the Justice Department said in a court filing Thursday.

On January 7, when contacted by an FBI agent about his actions, Camargo admitted he was in Washington the day of the riot and returned to his home in Broward County, Florida.

"Then he became uncooperative and questioned the agent's loyalty to the constitution before saying he had no more information to provide," prosecutors wrote. "Following this interview, the defendant then posted on social media 'Just finished speaking to an FBI agent, I believe I've been cleared.'"

Authorities tried to arrest Camargo on Tuesday at his home in Florida, but he was gone, prosecutors said. He was found the next day in Washington.
