On Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed the apprehension of another individual linked to the pilfering of federal assets from a vandalized FBI vehicle in Minneapolis earlier this month.

Patel reported that the suspect detained is accused of utilizing stolen identification materials from the vehicle to issue threats against an FBI agent based in Minneapolis, as well as the agent’s spouse and child.

“Threats against law enforcement personnel are completely unacceptable,” Patel declared in a statement posted on X. “Equally intolerable is the destruction and looting of government assets funded by taxpayers.”

Further information regarding the arrest is expected to be disclosed soon, according to the FBI director.

The incident occurred on January 14 in Minneapolis, where Patel noted that “rioters damaged and appropriated equipment from an FBI vehicle.”

The FBI previously said multiple government vehicles were vandalized and broken into on the night of Jan. 14 in Minneapolis, while agents were responding to a reported assault on a federal officer, adding that federal property was stolen from inside the vehicles.

The latest arrest follows the earlier arrest of a member of the violent Latin Kings gang, identified as Raul Gutierrez, 33, in connection with the incident.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said at the time that the suspected gang member allegedly stole FBI body armor and weaponry, and has a history of violent crimes. White House border czar Tom Homan said he allegedly stole a firearm from the FBI.

The alleged theft came as protests erupted in Minneapolis on Jan. 14 following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation, and after the Department of Homeland Security said an ICE agent shot an illegal immigrant from Venezuela in the leg after allegedly ambushing agents and attacking them with a shovel.
