2 men from the Detroit metropolitan area arrested in connection with a deadly attack on the United States Capitol

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. – Two more Michigan men were charged on Thursday after photos and other evidence showed they were in the deadly January 6 riot at the United States Capitol.

The FBI said Robert “Bobby” Schornak and Daniel Herendeen – both from Macomb County – traveled to Washington in support of President Donald Trump and entered the United States Capitol building.

A Roseville mother had a feeling when the FBI broke into a house on Commonwealth Street, she knew why. His instinct told him it was to go after someone involved in the deadly siege of the United States Capitol building.

“I knew. I knew it was the uprising,” she said. “I knew immediately. The FBI is not taking this seriously and is looking for people who were there.

Schornak was arrested, as was Herendeen – a resident of Chesterfield Township.

How did the FBI track the men? They said that a friend of Herendeen’s warned them and they found out that the Facebook Messenger plans were made by the two men.

Both made it easier for investigators to verify. Heredeen posted photos of what he said he would take to DC and the FBI said the two men took photos and selfies while they were illegally inside the Capitol and also allegedly commented on Facebook that they were there.
