U.S. District Court records count

Federal officials say this is a selfie taken while Martin J. Cudo was inside the U.S. Capitol and participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

A tip from a high school classmate led the FBI to arrest a Lakeville man who has been charged with invading the U.S. Capitol during the violent and destructive Jan. 6 insurrection in 2021.

Martin James Cudo, 43, was charged with illegal entry of the Capitol with the intent to impede or disrupt the U.S. House of Representatives as it was about to formally accept the election of Joe Biden as president over incumbent Donald Trump.

Cudo was arrested Monday in Lakeville. In a brief telephone interview late Tuesday afternoon, Cudo said he is now out of custody, has an attorney but otherwise has no comment about the allegations against him. Court records do not yet show when he is due to appear in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
