Jamie Buteau and Jennifer Buteau are in custody in Jacksonville on charges related to the Jan. 6 riot at the United States Capitol, according to a press release sent by the U.S. Attorney’s Office Thursday.

The newspaper reports that the Buteau's attended a 2018 Trump Rally in Tampa and during which, said that they believe there were secret messages hidden around Trump's presidency.
"When Trump misspells in a tweet, that's a sign," Jamie Buteau reportedly told the Tampa Bay Times.
"When the lights turned out during a press conference in which Trump walked back comments about Russia's 2016 interference in America's elections, Q was sending a message, Jennifer Buteau reportedly said.
At this time it's not clear what charges they are facing in relation to the Jan. 6 riot in Washington D.C.
