They added that Sanford had traveled to Washington D.C. &#8220;on a bus with a group of people&#8221; who &#8220;had gone to the White House and listened to President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s speech and then had followed the President&#8217;s instructions and gone to the Capitol.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While Officer [William] Young was on duty and attempting to control the crowd, he felt a hard strike to the back of his helmet,&#8221; an FBI agent said of the incident. &#8220;When he turned to see where the blow had originated, Officer Young saw a fire extinguisher on the ground but could not determine who had struck him. Officer Young was subsequently evaluated at a hospital and cleared to return to duty.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sanford is far from the only\u00a0individual from the Jan. 6 riot to be\u00a0arrested.\u00a0FBI Baltimore confirmed that Kevin Seefried of Delaware has been arrested after he was seen carrying a confederate flag in the U.S. Capitol.
