FBI arrests Kentucky militia members linked to Boogaloo Bois

Federal agents on Thursday arrested two Kentucky men associated with so-called Boogaloo Bois, including one accused of crimes related to a January 6 riot in Louisville, the Department of Justice said.

John Subleski, 32, is accused of inciting a riot in downtown Louisville on Jan.6, the same day a crowd cheered on by former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. Subleski is believed to have been part of a militia group that identified with Boogaloo Bois – an extremist movement that focuses on planning an overthrow of the US government.

Federal prosecutors say Subleski used social media to encourage others to take part in the riot. Subleski posted that it was “time to storm” the Louisville Police Department, according to a criminal complaint.
