A former Topeka City Council candidate was arrested without incident Friday on a federal warrant charging him with seven crimes linked to the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, where he acknowledged being present last month.

William Alexander Pope, 35, was booked at 9:40 a.m. Friday into the Shawnee County Jail, where records indicated he was being held without bond early that afternoon on a federal hold order.

Pope was arrested Friday morning by FBI Special Agents, members of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and officers with the Topeka Police Department on a warrant issued by the U.S. Court District of Columbia, said FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton.

6. It's probably finally sinking in....

Learning their fun day in DC had resulted in an officer's death didn't faze them. But getting arrested and put in jail?
Terrified.
