Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Saturday that a suspect wanted for an alleged attack on U.S. Attorney Alina Habba’s office had been arrested.
“Thanks to the great work of @FBI, @USMarshalsHQ, and @HSI_HQ the suspect wanted in the attack on @USAttyHabba’s office is now in custody,” Bondi said.
“No one will get away with threatening or intimidating our great US Attorneys or the destruction of their offices,” she added.
The FBI identified the suspect Friday night as Keith Michael Lisa.

More from the New York Post:
Habba was reportedly in her Newark office when the lunatic showed up with the bat and was initially stopped from entering.
He returned without the weapon and was permitted inside the building, at which point he began shouting incoherently and destroying property, authorities said.
Habba was not injured in the attack.
It’s unclear if the apparently disturbed man was targeting the New Jersey native, who oversees all federal criminal prosecutions and civil litigations in the Garden State.
Lisa, 51, was identified as the wanted suspect on Thursday, with authorities warning at the time that he “should be considered dangerous.”
“We got him. This @TheJusticeDept under @AGPamBondi and our federal partners will not tolerate any acts of intimidation or violence toward law enforcement,” Habba said.
“So grateful to @FBI @HSI_HQ and @USMarshalsHQ for their tireless work to capture him. Now justice will handle him,” she added.

Fox News noted:
A federal arrest warrant was issued for Lisa on Thursday in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in Newark after he was charged with possession of a dangerous weapon in a federal facility and depredation of federal property, the FBI added.
“Today’s arrest shows what coordinated federal law enforcement can do. Threats against our U.S. Attorneys aren’t just attacks on individuals, they’re attacks on the rule of law. And we will respond every time,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X.
ADVERTISEMENTBondi had announced Thursday that an individual attempted to confront Habba on Wednesday night, “destroyed property in her office” and then “fled the scene.’
“Thankfully, Alina is ok,” Bondi added. “Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period. This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.”
Habba said following the incident that, “I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job.”
