Federal agents on Thursday arrested two Kentucky men in connection with the so-called Boogaloo Bois, including one charged with crimes related to a January 6 riot in Louisville, the Department of Justice announced.
John Subleski, 32, is accused of inciting a riot in downtown Louisville on January 6, the same day a mob led by former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. capital. Subleski was allegedly part of a militia group that identified with the Boogaloo Bois – an extremist movement focused on overthrowing the US government.
Federal prosecutors allege that Subleski used social media to encourage others to take part in the riot. According to a criminal complaint, Subleski said it was ‘time to storm the Louisville police station’.
