A Texas man is facing federal jail time after his ex-wife reported him to the FBI when she noticed him participating in the violent siege of the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday.
The United States Attorney s office said Larry Rendell Brock faces two charges for knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
An affidavit sent to the D.C. District Court said Brock s ex-wife of 18 years claims to have noticed him when she saw pictures of what was happening at the Capitol. I just know that when I saw this was happening, I was afraid he would be there, she said in court documents. I think you already know he was there. It is such a good picture of him, and I recognize his patch.
