(WBBM NEWSRADIO) --  A Hoffman Estates man is the latest Illinoisan to be arrested for allegedly taking part in the breach on the U.S. Capitol nearly two years ago.

Federal prosecutors say 60-year-old Tyng Jing Yang was arrested Wednesday on a number of charges, including interfering with law enforcement.

Federal prosecutors say Yang made his way into the Capitol, posed for photos in the Rotunda and physically resisted police efforts to remove him by grabbing onto an officer’s baton.

So far, nearly 900 people have been arrested for crimes related to the attack.

The investigation continues.
