Two men photographed carrying zip-ties in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday were charged Sunday in a federal court in the District of Columbia in connection with the riots.
The charges followed those of three men on Saturday, including a man seen wearing Viking garb and one photographed carrying the Speaker's lectern in the Capitol while mugging for the camera.
Eric Gavelek Munchel was arrested in Tennessee, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia said in a statement Sunday. He was photographed with the restraints in the Senate chamber.
"Photos depicting his presence show a person who appears to be Munchel carrying plastic restraints, an item in a holster on his right hip, and a cellphone mounted on his chest with the camera facing outward, ostensibly to record events that day," the Attorney's Office said.
The second man, Larry Rendell Brock, was arrested in Texas. Both face charges of knowingly entering a restricted building and a count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
"It is alleged that Brock was identified as one of the individuals who unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol wearing a green helmet, green tactical vest with patches, black and camo jacket, and beige pants holding a white flex cuff, which is used by law enforcement to restrain and/or detain subjects," authorities said.
On Saturday, the Justice Department announced the arrest of three men who allegedly took part in the riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Jacob A. Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, was charged with illegally entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds, the department said in a statement on Saturday.
