Iowa Man Arrested, Charged With Taking Part in Capitol Riot (and fired from his job) [View all]
Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek said officers assisted the FBI in arresting 41-year-old Doug Jensen on Friday night at his home on the south side of the city.
Jensen was booked into the Polk County Jail early Saturday on five federal charges, including trespassing and disorderly conduct counts, according to news releases from the FBI's field office in Omaha, Nebraska and the county sheriff's office.
Sgt. Ryan Evans of the county sheriff's office said Jensen was being held without bond and that he didn’t know if he had an attorney. In a seven-second, expletive-laced TikTok video posted Thursday under the username @dougjensen, a man who appears to be Jensen suggests he's being made a “poster boy” for what happened and ends by saying, "Don't believe the news.”
The FBI and sheriff's office referred further inquiries about the case to the U.S. attorney's office in Washington.
