Overview
- Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest and credited the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and Homeland Security Investigations for the capture.
- The FBI had identified the suspect as Keith Michael Lisa, issued a warrant, and offered a reward of up to $25,000; authorities noted ties to Mahwah, New Jersey, and New York City.
- Reports say the man first appeared at the Newark federal building with a bat and was turned away, then returned without it, entered the floor of Habba’s office, and damaged property while yelling incoherently.
- Habba was not harmed and publicly vowed not to be intimidated, while officials emphasized zero tolerance for threats against federal prosecutors.
- Some outlets reported charges including possession of a dangerous weapon in a federal facility and depredation of federal property, though officials had not uniformly released charging details, and no motive has been established.
