Police say Eduardo Valdivia is in custody. Police plan to hold a news conference Tuesday to detail specific charges concerning the assault of two different women. They plan to explain why they're concerned there could be more victims.

Police say Valdivia is the same FBI agent who was acquitted of attempted murder on a metro train near the Medical Center Station in Bethesda. That shooting happened in mid-December of 2020. Valdivia was acquitted two years later. He was off duty at the time of that shooting.

The news conference from Montgomery County Police Tuesday is set for 11 a.m.
