Federal officials said Richard Barnett of Arkansas was arrested Friday morning in Little Rock.
Barnett was accused of intentionally entering and staying on restricted building land without authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol Hill, as well as theft of public property, officials said.
An Alabama resident was also charged with connection to the bomb located on the south side of the Capitol building. Eleven Molotov cocktails and military-style weapons were found in his truck, officials said.
“Just because you left the DC region, you can still expect a knock on the door if we find out that you were part of the criminal activity on Capitol Hill,” said Steven D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI field in Washington’s office.
“The FBI is sparing no resources in this investigation,” he said.
The Justice Department announced on Friday that 13 people face federal charges stemming from Wednesday’s Capitol riot. Full court records have not yet been made available to all defendants and only a few individuals have appeared in court. In addition to the defendants, the Justice Department said additional complaints “have been filed and investigations are ongoing.”
“The lawless destruction of the United States Capitol building was an attack on one of our nation’s largest institutions,” said Union Prosecutor Michael Sherwin. “My office, along with our law enforcement partners at all levels, has been working quickly and using every resource to identify, arrest and begin prosecuting those individuals who participated in blatant criminal acts on the United States Capitol.”
It was not clear whether Barnett has a lawyer.
Barnett is in the custody of the FBI, the public information officer in the Benton, Arkansas sheriff’s office, Lieutenant Shannon Jenkins confirmed to CNN.
“He is in the custody of the FBI. He was not assessed at our facility. He was transported to another facility and in the custody of the FBI,” she said by email.
When questioned, Jenkins did not provide the name of the facility to which Barnett was transferred.
Even with more arrests being made in connection with the violation of the Capitol, lawmakers say they are puzzled by the lack of preparation among law enforcement officers, as it has been known for weeks that President Donald Trump was holding a rally he said he had to prevent Joe Biden’s victory certification.
In response, United States Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund is resigning. He said in a statement on Thursday that the Capitol Police and other officers were “actively attacked” with metal pipes and other weapons.
“They were determined to get into the Capitol building doing great damage,” said Sund.
“The violent attack on the United States Capitol was unlike any I have experienced in my 30 years of law enforcement here in Washington, DC,” he added. “Maintaining public safety in an open environment – specifically for First Amendment activities – has always been a challenge.”
Direct marketing company Navistar, for example, announced that an employee was fired after being photographed wearing his identification badge inside the breached Capitol.
“While we support the right of all employees to the peaceful and legal exercise of freedom of expression, any employee who demonstrates dangerous conduct that endangers the health and safety of others will no longer have a job opportunity at Navistar Direct Marketing,” the company said in a statement provided to CNN.
