  • Obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder
  • Entertaining and remaining in a restricted building or grounds
  • Engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds
  • Act of physical violence in the capitol grounds of buildings

Authorities said the manhunt began Wednesday in New Jersey.

The search was focused near the Middlesex County town of Helmetta, according to the FBI.

Yetman was described as a white man in his 40s. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 218 pounds, and has on his back between his shoulders.

Yetman was last seen wearing a red jacket and a ball cap.

Authorities said he might be armed.
