Immigration and customs enforcement officer Christian Castro was taken into federal custody Thursday evening.
He is facing multiple criminal counts of making false statements to investigators.
That's according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case has not been unsealed yet.
Castro allegedly lied about the shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis and the circumstances that led up to it.
Initially, the Department of Homeland Security said Castro fired in self defense after two Venezuelan men attacked him, but video evidence later emerged that contradicted Castro's account in sworn testimony.
Castro is expected to make his initial court appearance later today.

In the new filing in federal court in Manhattan, Maduro's attorneys say no American court has ever presided over the criminal trial of a foreign leader who was recognized in their own country as the sitting head of state.
They say that's because heads of state are immune from prosecution in any national court but their own.
And therefore they say the US Court lacks jurisdiction and must dismiss the indictment.
Maduro faces narco terrorism, drug and gun charges.
Both he and his wife, Celia Flores, were captured by the US in a military raid in Caracas in January and brought to the US to face trial.
Both of them have pleaded not guilty.

The defendant, forty one year old Melissa Ferris of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, is charged with destruction of veterans memorials and destruction of government property.
According to court papers, Ferris spray painted graffiti on parts of the World War II memorial on the National Mall.
The graffiti in orange letters read quote clean hands, dirty money, end quote.
Court papers also say Ferris had been arrested a few days before the incident for unlawfully camping on federal property just a few blocks from the memorial.
Law enforcement also discovered videos that Ferris had posted to social media in which court papers say she states she had defaced federal property.
