In a recent development, Gregory Yetman, a fugitive associated with the January 6th incident, has surrendered to the Monroe Township police. This surrender came after an intense three-day manhunt involving hound dogs, marking an end to a search that had gripped the local community.
Yetman, a retired Army Sergeant, was the subject of a major FBI operation. The residents of Helmetta, New Jersey were advised to keep their doors locked as the authorities searched for him. His surrender on Friday morning came nearly three years after the January 6 protest, bringing relief to the local community.

The charges against Yetman are serious and numerous. He stands accused of picking up a large canister of pepper spray from the ground and spraying it towards Capitol police and protesters. This act, which is often seen at local Antifa riots, led to the FBI launching a significant manhunt for Yetman.
Yetman, aged 47, faces several offenses, some of which are felonies. These stem from the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. The charges include assaulting officers, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, and act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings.
The information about the massive FBI manhunt for Gregory Yetman, an alleged J6 participant remains sketchy.
