PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona man who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 while wearing a costume of Captain Moroni from the Book of Mormon and narrating the melee in videos for his mother has been arrested, authorities said.
Nathan Wayne Entrekin, 48, told the FBI that former President Donald Trump inspired him to drive more than 2,000 miles to Washington for the rally on Jan. 6, according to court documents filed this week.
Entrekin documented his movements in and outside the building in cellphone videos in which he addressed his mother, who wasn't at the Capitol, authorities said.
Entrekin said in the videos that he was dressed in the Roman gladiator costume to portray Captain Moroni, a figure from the Book of Mormon who sought to defend his people from another group that wanted to overthrow democracy and install a king, court records say.
