(BREAKING NEWS) – Federal authorities say 28-year-old Bryan Wayne Ivey of Crossville was arrested this morning in Cookeville for his alleged involvement in the U.S. Capitol riots.

According to arrest warrants, Ivey faces charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in the Capitol, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol building.

An FBI affidavit shows a “concerned citizen” told investigators that Ivey had admitted to being inside the Capitol. The citizen also identified Ivey in a video taken outside the Capitol with someone attempting to break a window with a riot shield.

Records show investigators then saw Ivey on surveillance footage entering the Capitol through the window that was broken and going over to a nearby door to help others coming in the building.

Ivey is the 8th Tennessean facing charges tied to the riots on January 6, 2021. He is expected to appear in court for arraignment today (March 4, 2021).
