Christopher Worrell, a member of the far-right Proud Boys group who was convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, was taken into custody on Thursday after more than a month on the run.

Worrell was captured by FBI agents while trying to “covertly return” to his home in Central Naples, Florida, the bureau’s Tampa field office said in a statement Friday.

Agents surrounded the residence and went inside, where they found him unconscious and provided medical attention. Worrell had “night-vision goggles, $4,000 in cash, and survivalist gear” in his home, the bureau said. He remains in the hospital.
