A 41-year-old Iowa man was arrested Saturday on charges of being part of a Trump-backed mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday.
Doug Jensen of Des Moines turned out to be the man in front of a crowd that entered the Capitol and chased a black police officer up stairs in several videos of the riot, including one posted by HuffPost Reporter Igor Bobic.
Jensen was wearing a black Q-Anon T-shirt and black cap as he chased the officer up the stairs and into a lobby, where other officers confronted the intruders. His face appears in a photo series released by the FBI on Thursday.
In a recently removed TikTok video, which was posted under the username @dougjensen on Thursday, a man who is apparently Jensen suggested that he become a ‘poster boy’ for what happened and ends by saying: “Do not the news does not believe, “Associated Press reports.
According to a news release from the FBI’s field office in Omaha, Nebraska and the sheriff in Polk County, he was charged early Saturday on five federal charges, including trespassing and disorderly charges.
According to the Des Moines Register, Jensen posted several photos of himself taking part in the raid. He also posted photos on social media that responded to other accounts related to the Q-Anon conspiracy community and asked if they liked his shirt.
Jensen has been among several arresters arrested over the past two days.
