Federal agents arrested two Kentucky men associated with the so-called Boogaloo Bois on Thursday, including one accused of crimes related to a January 6 riot in Louisville, the Justice Department announced.
John Subleski, 32, is accused of inciting a riot in downtown Louisville on January 6, the same day that a crowd instigated by former President Donald Trump invaded the United States Capitol. Subleski reportedly was part of a militia group that identified with the Boogaloo Bois – an extremist movement that focuses on planning an overthrow of the United States government.
Federal prosecutors claim that Subleski used social media to encourage others to participate in the riot. Subleski posted that it was “time to invade” the Louisville Police Department, according to a criminal complaint.
