A Murfreesboro man is the tenth Tennessean arrested by FBI agents on charges related to the January riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Agents arrested 26-year-old Michael Lee Roche on Tuesday morning.
Federal prosecutors provided images that identify Roche inside the Senate Chamber and standing next to one of the most high-profile people arrested, Jack Angeli — a demonstrator who calls himself the “Q Anon Shaman” and who was widely seen shirtless and wearing a headdress.
