More than 175 people have been arrested for their roles in the U.S. Capitol insurrection that left five people dead and more than 50 police officers injured.
Arrests include at least 15 people from New York state, with charges ranging from disorderly conduct and violent entry to assaulting police officers. A witness told the FBI that a Rochester man allegedly said they intended to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence.
Others among the pro-Trump mob include two men from other states who were arrested in New York and accused of serious crimes: A Utica native allegedly dragged a police officer down the Capitol steps to be beaten, and a Connecticut man allegedly hit a cop with a police shield while he was being crushed in a doorway.
Violent protesters, loyal to President Donald Trump, storm the Capitol, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington.
Logan Grover of Erie, Colorado, first came to the FBI s attention about two weeks after the attack, when informants reported a Facebook post he made ahead of traveling to Washington, D.C.
According to the post, which the FBI included in its statement of fact about his arrest, Grover wrote, If you accept the reality that the election was stolen, than (sic) you cannot accept Biden as the new president & neither can I.
Further in the post, Grover wrote this was his first protest and he wasn t sure what to do, concluding, I have no interest in violence. Sadly I recognize that violence is highly likely. I am not certain what is going to happen tomorrow. I am certain I need to be here.
