A former FBI supervisory agent has been arrested for allegedly having entered the U.S. Capitol as part of a mob during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. 

Former Supervisory Special Agent Jared Wise spent about nine minutes in the Capitol, according to an affidavit.

The affidavit also states Wise told D.C. police department officers: "You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo."

When people in the crowd began acting violent toward the officers, Wise shouted, "Yeah, kill 'em," also according to the affidavit. 

Officials arrested the 50-year-old Wise in Oregon on Monday on misdemeanor charges including entering or remaining in a restricted area, court records obtained by the Associated Press show.

Wise had worked for the FBI from 2004 through 2017.

The agency decline to discuss Wise's employment, saying, "We refer you to the public court documents and don’t have any further comment."

The FBI first received a tip about Wise entering the Capitol during the riot a more than year after the incident, the affidavit also states.

A federal magistrate judge ordered Wise to be released from custody after his initial appearance Monday in Eugene, Oregon.
