Ronald Colton McAbee

Cole or Colton

Age: 27

Arrested or charged on: Aug. 17, 2021

Home state: Tennessee

Charges

Assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, inflicting bodily injury and aiding and abetting; assaulting resisting or impeding certain officers; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon

What happened

A Tennessee sheriff's deputy, McAbee traveled to Washington D.C. for Trump's rally while he was on temporary disability leave from work after rolling his car. He wore a tactical vest at the Capitol riot with the Three Percenter logo and the word sheriff. Federal officials say after assaulting officers on the scene, he pointed at the word "sheriff" to try to get access to the Capitol after he was injured in the battle.

He is one of seven men charged by a superceding indictment in the brutal assault on officers during the melee on the Capitol's lower west terrace. Documents state McAbee is shown on police body-camera footage carrying a baton and swinging at officers while wearing gloves with reinforced metal knuckles. He's shown grabbing the torso of an officer already on the ground while Clayton Ray Mullins, also of Kentucky, grabbed the officer's legs in what became a tug-o-war between the two men and other officers trying to prevent further assault. Soon after, McAbee grabbed the same officer and dragged him down the stairs into the crowd as others kicked, stomped and struck him with poles. The footage shows McAbee pinning the officer down for about 25 seconds. Afterward, the officer needed medical attention for a head laceration.

A tipster turned McAbee in on May. 26, reporting he previously was a deputy in Georgia who had relocated to Tennessee. He was a deputy with the Williamson County Sheriff's office. After Jan. 6, he deleted his Facebook account. In court documents, the U.S. Attorney's office stated: "The fact that McAbee engaged in violent assaults of fellow law enforcement officers while he himself was a sheriff’s deputy and then attempted to use that status to obtain special treatment is powerful evidence of his lack of regard for legal authority." The motion arguing for him to be detained also stated: "The defendant was a spoke in the wheel that caused the historic events of January 6, 2021, and he is thus a danger to our society and a threat to the peaceful functioning of our community."

Fi Duong

"Monkey King"

Arrested or charged on: July 2, 2021

Home state: Virginia

Charges

Entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds; disorderly or disruptive conduct; disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; obstruction of an official proceeding.

What happened

Duong introduced himself to an undercover member of the Metropolitan Police Department staff on the morning of Jan. 6 at the Capitol, and saw him later that day, the FBI stated in a complaint. A week later the MPD officer introduced Duong to an undercover FBI employee and the two communicated for months. Duong hosted the undercover FBI employee at Bible studies where they discussed firearms and other militia-style training activities, as well as a Virginia secession movement called "the state of Appalachia."

Duong's group continued to conduct additional surveillance around the Capitol for months, the FBI stated. At one of the meetings he organized at his home, Duong had a member of the far-right militia theorists Three Percenters speak to the group. At that March meeting, Duong admitted he was at the Capitol riot wearing all black and two different kinds of masks. The FBI stated his photo was later confirmed on surveillance video. In a March discussion about the arrests of many of the rioters, Duong mentioned the possibility of breaking the people who had been arrested out of prison. "It’s just a matter of figuring out where the prisons are and that should all be public information."

Duong acquired an AK47 and a suppressor and repeatedly expressed his willingness to engage in conflict and violence, the FBI stated in the charging documents. He also discussed testing molotov cocktails and talked about their merits. About another conversation, the undercover agent stated: "I believe Duong meant he was willing to barricade himself in his residence in defiance of law enforcement commands and was willing to die in this standoff in a similar manner to the standoff in Waco, Texas with David Koresh." The charging document listed four unidentified additional associates.

Photos show Brown shouting into a megaphone and working his way to the front of the group where rioters were trying to push into the tunnel, ramming a flag pole into the tunnel and spraying liquid from a canister.

Brown was released that night without any charges filed, the FBI stated.

On Jan. 7, he posted: "We the people need one more solid rally like this and CONgress will be forced to bow and be thrown out for not representing the will of the people and charged with crimes against humanity.” In a later post, Brown stated: "This has nothing to do with Trump or Biden. People should be storming that Brothel we call the Capitol everyday for what goes on in there."

Brown is among several others who have mistakenly posted on social media that they invaded the White House rather than the Capitol. He posted a photo of the Capitol, stating "I am the First person to breech the White House in 200 years."

Dubbed #HarleySmashAOM by online sleuths, Haynes' photos were No. 203 in the FBI's most-wanted gallery. AOM is the FBI's acronym for Assault on Media. The FBI stated Haynes picked up and slammed down multiple pieces of equipment and stomped on one camera before throwing it onto a pile of eqiupment. In charging documents, Haynes is also shown helping to remove an air conditioning unit from a building outside the Capitol.

After a search warrant for his phone, the FBI found selfies of Haynes inside the Capitol and text messages to friends, including one message saying he had stormed the building. Later in the evening of Jan. 6, after the riot had concluded, someone texted Haynes to tell him not to "be like antifa tearing stuff up." Haynes replied: "too late" and "broke lotsa stuff." He took a photo of himself standing in front of the pile of destroyed camera equipment. He told friends he was in videos destroying the media equipment, but wearing a mask.

In an interview with the FBI, Haynes stated he disagreed with force used by law enforcement officers on Jan. 6 to prevent Trump supporters from stopping the presidential election from being "stolen." Haynes told the interviewing officers that he thought the rioters who used force against law enforcement officers on Jan. 6 were "heroes." In response to several questions during the interview, Haynes replied that he was not comfortable answering the questions, including questions about whether he particpated in the media attack or what he wore to the riot. When asked whether he destroyed the leather jacket that he was wearing in photos, which he denied owning, Haynes declined to answer. Haynes told the FBI he's not a member of the Proud Boys but went to one of their meetings in November or December 2020 and would be a member if there were other members in his area.

When an officer asks him to move away from the barricade he refuses. He also tells the officers they will be “overrun” by the crowd, and says, “I’m willing to die, are you?”

Federal authorities said Lopatic attacked one police officer, punching him repeatedly, then took the body camera off another officer and disposed of it, "destroying what would have undoubtedly been a crucial piece of evidence." Authorities also said Lopatic had posted threatening messages directed toward elected leaders in Washington on social media, and also declared his intention to gather at the Capitol and fight. During the fall, Lopatic had been pheasant hunting and posting photos of the dead birds, along with captions saying he'd named them for various officials in Washington, including Joe and Kamala one time, and Nancy another. Court documents describe how an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department saw "thousands of individuals," some thowing and swinging objects at the officers, as he stood watch in an archway. The documents state the officer watched as another officer was dragged down stairs and overcome by a mob, but when he tried to go to the officers aid, he said he was stopped by Lopatic, wearing clothing with the emblem of the Three Percenters, who repeatedly punched him in the head. After that, authorities said Lopatic went over to where the officer had been overwhelmed by the mob and reached in and grabbed the body camera off the officer, according to the documents, then disposed of the camera on his way home. That action, documents stated, "shows that he was not merely swept up by the passions of the day."
