While driving to Washington, D.C., on January 6, Cleveland Meredith sent a text that said, Hauling ass, 3.5 hours from target practice.
The day after the Capitol siege, prosecutors said, Meredith was arrested in D.C. with an assault-style rifle equipped with a telescopic sight, a Glock firearm with several high capacity magazines and over 2,500 rounds of ammunition including at least 320 armor-piercing rounds. He arrived too late to attend the rally, but the following day, authorities said he sent a text threatening to shoot House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the head.

Texans are leading the nation in the number of arrests for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6
as supporters of former President Donald Trump violently disrupted a joint session of Congress convened to certify President Joe Biden’s election.
Months later, the U.S. Department of Justice is still investigating and arresting accused rioters, including Adam Weibling, a Katy area man the FBI arrested on Tuesday.
