Bumble match tips off FBI to Capitol rioter who allegedly whipped and pepper ...

A Bumble suitor has been turned in to the FBI by his potential love match after he allegedly boasted about his participation in the U.S. Capitol riot on the dating app.

Andrew Quentin Taake, 32, was arrested on Friday at his home in Houston, after investigators said that he whipped and pepper sprayed Capitol Police officers during the riot on January 6.

Even as Taake took part in storming the Capitol, he was actively trying to woo a love interest on Bumble, sending selfies of himself joining the mob, according to a criminal complaint. 

Taake never met up with his Bumble match in person, and just days later, on January 9, the match came forward to the FBI, providing incriminating screenshots to investigators.

The screenshots included a selfie that Taake sent, which he said had been taken 'about 30 minutes' after being pepper sprayed, according to the complaint.

Though Bumble profiles only display first names, Taake's identified him as the owner of Hi-Flow Houston, a power washing service, allowing the FBI to quickly zero in on his true identity.

Investigators discovered a number of public videos and Capitol surveillance that appear to show Taake taking part in the riot and illegally entering the Capitol.

One image included in the complaint appears to show Taake spraying Capitol cops in the face with pepper spray. 

In other footage, Taake can be seen wielding a whip-like weapon and using it to attack Capitol cops before retreating back into the crowd, according to the complaint.
