Federal authorities have charged a New York City Department of Sanitation worker in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot, after photos in a New York Post story helped investigators identify him.
According to an unsealed criminal complaint, Dominick, 43, was charged in Washington, D.C., with violent entry, remaining in a restricted building, and disorderly conduct in a restricted facility.
An FBI agent’s affidavit repeatedly cites a January 14 Post article. As the Post reported, videos circulating online showed a man in a QAnon hoodie waving a Trump flag outside the Capitol, and the article identified him as a sanitation worker. The agent wrote that Capitol surveillance video shows a man in the same blue hooded sweatshirt carrying the same flag.
The affidavit says a passport application listed his job as sanitation worker, which matched the Post’s reporting, and a coworker also identified him after seeing the article. The complaint says he has been suspended by the department. A response from Dominick was not included in the court papers, and charges are only accusations.
