The FBI on Monday, Feb. 22, arrested a Glen Oaks man and Republican District Leader for allegedly taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to federal prosecutors.
Prosecutors say that two witnesses identified 46-year-old Philip Grillo from CNN footage, which showed him participating in the riots wearing a jacket from the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organization.
Grillo is alleged to have knowingly entered and remained on federal grounds without authority and attempted to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of government business.
Late yesterday, we arrested Philip Grillo for his role in the riot and assault on the Capitol. We will continue to work with @FBIWFO to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. See our latest photos at https://t.co/nSyFfocWp8
