John the Baptist was imprisoned by Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea.
Herod Antipas was a son of Herod the Great, who had been king of Judea and the surrounding regions during the time of Jesus' birth.
After Herod the Great's death, his kingdom broke up into smaller territories over which his sons ruled.
Herod Antipas received Galilee, and it was He who ordered John's arrest.
It was the plotting of Herod's wife Herodias, however, that led John' execution.
If we trust Josephus' account, it would seem that the same fear of the crowds that prevented Herod from immediately executing John are also a part of why he arrested John in the first place.
A free John may lead a rebellion, but a murdered John might incite one.
Herod was in a bind.
This paranoia may also be what made John's willingness to rebuke his sin openly such a big deal.
Beyond personal offense, Herod may have feared John's rebukes were the early signs of sedition or at least would lead there eventually since he had no intention of repenting of the things for which John rebuked him.
