Who is Jake Lang?

Dig deeper:

Earlier this year, Ramsey County prosecutors charged the 30-year-old influencer, whose legal name is Edward Jacob Lang, with a felony count of first-degree property damage. The charge stems from an incident at the Minnesota State Capitol where he was accused of destroying a "Prosecute ICE" ice sculpture. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

According to the criminal complaint, the veteran advocacy organization Common Defense paid $6,250 to a local artist to create the sculpture and secured a permit to display it on Capitol grounds.

Lang was previously arrested in 2021 for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to previous FOX coverage, he spent four years in prison on an 11-count indictment that included assault charges for attacking law enforcement officers with a baseball bat, before eventually receiving a presidential pardon, according to previous coverage and court records.
