Tallahassee WCTV had more on the arrest:
Tallahassee resident Daniel Baker was arrested Friday.
Federal law enforcement alleges he encouraged violence against protesters expected to hold demonstrations at the Capitol starting Sunday.
US Attorney for Florida’s Northern District Lawrence Keefe told us earlier this week, law enforcement had been working to identify threats before they manifested.
“Trying to detect, disrupt and dismantle any coordinated efforts to attack any capital,” said Keefe.
Baker, a former US Army infantryman, took part in a number of last summer’s protests against police brutality according to the affidavit.
The criminal complaint included Daniel Baker saying he ‘received Soros money’ and he ‘will be offering cash rewards for information on Trump supporters’ in his video.
Baker also offers cash rewards to any of his followers who send him information on Trump supporters at the US Capitol protest and riots.
