Jamo and Okojie are currently in custody and they are yet to be taken to court. According to the Assistant Chief for the United States Capitol Police, Sean Gallagher, the arrest is an attempt to have control over dangerous criminals and the officers are working for the safety of the residents of the Capitol Complex.
