A former New Jersey National Guard member wanted by the feds for allegedly trying to pepper spray police and protesters during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6 turned himself in Friday after a two-day manhunt.
Gregory Yetman, 46, surrendered to police in Monroe Township, New Jersey, first thing Friday without incident, an FBI spokesman said.
It is not clear whether he turned himself in alone or accompanied by a lawyer.
The fugitive had been on the lam since Wednesday after he fled into the woods near his Helmetta home when FBI agents arrived to arrest him on a federal warrant, authorities said.

As the FBI, state, county and local police continue to search for Yetman, the FBI on Thursday offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
Yetman, who was placed on the FBI’s most wanted list, is accused of allegedly assaulting federal officials during the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021.
His arrest comes after USA Today reported earlier this year that Yetman – who was a military police sergeant in the Garden State National Guard at the time – was being questioned by the FBI about his alleged participation in the riots.
The feds said he was suspected of firing pepper spray at protesters and police.

In a subsequent interview with the outlet, Yetman admitted he was at the Capitol that day but insisted he committed no crime.
He said he told the feds the same thing and he hasn’t heard from the bureau since.
“Everything is resolved, everything is good,” he said earlier this year.
Then a federal arrest warrant was issued for him on Monday.
