A New York man who searched online for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the location of gun stores in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection was among the most wanted Capitol violence suspects because he allegedly assaulted an officer, according to the FBI.
Jonathan Munafo, 34, of Albany is shown on camera punching a U.S. Capitol Police officer before ripping the officer's riot shield out of his hand and striking a window with a flagpole, FBI Special Agent Michael Bauknight wrote in an affidavit unsealed Tuesday.
Munafo's actions, and the FBI's public plea for tips leading to his arrest, led to Munafo being known by the hashtag “#boyinthehood" because he was seen wearing a a black hooded jacket during the insurrection.
