Man who carried Confederate flag through Capitol during riot arrested in Delaware
Kevin Seefried, a Delaware man photographed carrying the Confederate flag through the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol, surrendered himself Thursday to federal authorities in Wilmington.
A Delaware man photographed carrying the Confederate flag through the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrectionist riot surrendered himself Thursday to federal authorities in Wilmington, investigators said.
Kevin Seefried and his son, Hunter, were both arrested, according to FBI officials. The men are expected to make their first appearance in federal court later this afternoon.
Investigators say the elder Seefried was identified from a widely-circulated photo of him carrying the flag on his shoulder while rioters tore through the building around him.

As a note that is odd about Delaware - the "Mason Dixon" line sortof went along the western border of Delaware, so it was off in la la land in the Delaware Bay (but was still considered a "slave state" )!
