Pete Santilli, a self-styled journalist, who started live-streaming reports of Ammon Bundy's arrest on YouTube late Tuesday, has been arrested, according to the FBI.
Santilli, 50, of Cincinnati, was arrested about 6:30 p.m. on a charge of conspiracy to impede federal officers, a felony. He was arrested without incident, according to an FBI news release.
Santilli's live stream had indicated that he was arrested. On a Facebook page associated with Santilli, his colleagues wrote that he was arrested at a road block.
On the Facebook page, they later updated their report stating: "Pete Santilli was arrested after pleaing with the FBI to allow him to set up a convoy to save the women and children in the refuge."
