Federal agents have arrested an Alabama man accused of taking part in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to NBC News, he is connected to the Oath Keepers, a far right anti government militia group.
On Tuesday, 33 year old Joshua was charged in a federal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington. Authorities charged him with obstructing an official proceeding and entering a restricted building. The charges are allegations, and he has not been convicted of anything.
The complaint states that Joshua owns a cleaning company and that he traveled to Washington on Jan. 6 wearing an Oath Keepers baseball cap and a black long sleeve top with an Oath Keepers patch on the sleeve. NBC News also reports that he was seen in military style gear with the group’s logo and was photographed outside the Capitol that day. The complaint also links him to Roger Stone, a longtime Trump associate, for whom members of the group have reportedly provided security.
The complaint further alleges that members of the group stormed the Capitol and forced a halt to the certification of the Electoral College vote. News outlets have reported that the Oath Keepers urged then President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and have talked about blocking the transfer of presidential power.
