The Minnesota State Patrol confirmed Lang was pulled over a short distance from the Capitol and taken into custody "without incident." He was transported to the Ramsey County Jail to be booked on "suspicion of criminal damage to property."

In a statement, the veterans group responsible for the sculpture called for Lang to be prosecuted.

“I gave eight years of my life in service to this country in the military. For a January 6 insurrectionist to destroy our display is an attack on the First Amendment veterans like me fought to defend," said Common Defense communications director Jacob Thomas. "Like the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti and (Renee) Good — these criminals need to be prosecuted.”
