Missouri Man Arrested on Felony and Misdemeanor Charges for Actions During Jan. 6 Capitol Attack

A Missouri man has been arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges related to his actions during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Daniel Donnelly Jr., aka Rally Runner, 43, of St. Louis, is charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with a felony offense of civil disorder. In addition to the felony, Donnelly is charged with several misdemeanor offenses, including disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, impeding passage through the Capitol grounds or buildings, and theft of government property.

Donnelly was arrested in St. Louis and made his initial appearance in the Eastern District of Missouri, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.

According to court documents, Donnelly was identified via open-source video and other video footage as among the crowd of rioters gathered at the Lower West Terrace tunnel entrance to the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. Donnelly was identified wearing red face paint, sunglasses, a red “Make America Great” hat, a red jacket, red pants or red shorts, and red high socks.

Photos and video footage taken from closed-circuit television (CCTV) and open-source videos that day depict Donnelly making his way up through the crowd of rioters and into the tunnel. Before making his way into the entrance, Donnelly is seen helping the crowd pass a ladder into the tunnel.

At about 4:10 p.m., court documents say that Donnelly is seen with a police riot shield continuing to make his way into the tunnel and eventually arriving at the front of the crowd of rioters. Law enforcement officers then attempted to move the crowd back and out of the tunnel. Court documents say that at this time, Donnelly can be seen holding the stolen riot shield up to the law enforcement officers, forming a wall with other shields held by other rioters.

According to court documents, moments later, other rioters, using Donnelly as a shield, lunged past him to attack the officers. Donnelly continued to hold his position just inches away from the confrontation. Rioters continued to push forward as a group, with Donnelly in the lead. Video footage depicts Donnelly at the front of the line using the shield to aid in the advancement of the rioters by pushing law enforcement officers back. Eventually, Donnelly lost the shield when additional law enforcement officers came to the tunnel and began moving the rioters out.

Court documents say that later that day, on Jan. 6, Donnelly posted a video on his Facebook page in which he admitted to being at the U.S. Capitol.

In the video, Donnelly states, in part, “I get a riot shield, and I’m not trying to cause any violence, but I’m trying to be the furthest person to get through all the way, or at least get the furthest” and “I took up a lot of space, and I had the rioter shield, and I was right up there, and for some reason, like, the other people up there on the front lines with me, they did something similar…. It’s like they followed my lead, kind of.”

This case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri. This case is being investigated by the FBI’s St. Louis and Washington Field Offices. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kentucky Man Arrested on Felony and Misdemeanor Charges for Actions During Jan. 6 Capitol Attack

A Kentucky man has been arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges related to his actions during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Barry Saturday, 43, of Lexington, Kentucky, is charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with a felony offense of civil disorder. In addition to the felony, Saturday is charged with several misdemeanor offenses, including knowingly entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

Saturday was arrested in Lexington and made his initial appearance in the Eastern District of Kentucky, according to a press release from the Justice Department.

According to court documents, Saturday was identified on closed-circuit television (“CCTV”) footage among the crowd of rioters at the U.S. Capitol building and grounds on Jan. 6, 2021. In this footage, Saturday is seen participating in a coordinated “heave-ho” push against a police line in the Lower West Terrace tunnel.

Court documents say that at approximately 2:54 p.m., Saturday is seen approaching the entrance to the tunnel and advancing through the crowd while taking pictures or videos with his cell phone. Saturday is then seen advancing closer to the police line while the crowd of rioters in the tunnel begins a coordinated “heave-ho” push against the officers.

Saturday then leaves and reenters the tunnel serval times before rushing forward toward the police line and pushing against the backs of other rioters. Video footage shows Saturday putting his head down to brace himself as he continues to join others in the coordinated “heave-ho” effort. Shortly afterward, law enforcement officers succeed in pushing the rioters, including Saturday, out of the tunnel entrance.

Saturday remained among the crowd of rioters until approximately 4:15 p.m. before making his way back to the mouth of the tunnel and again pushing against the police line with other rioters. At about 4:18 p.m., Saturday makes his way further into the tunnel and joins another “heave-ho” effort. Saturday and other rioters were then forced from the tunnel as law enforcement officers deployed pepper spray.

Court documents say that Saturday then reappeared on CCTV at approximately 4:26 p.m. at the tunnel’s entrance wearing goggles that covered both his eyes. In the CCTV footage, it appears that Saturday is observed assisting other rioters while confronting law enforcement. Soon thereafter, a violent struggle ensued between law enforcement and rioters, and Saturday disappears from the camera’s view. Court documents state that Saturday remained in the Lower West Terrace tunnel and the surrounding area for at least 1 hour and 36 minutes, from 2:50 p.m. to 4:26 p.m.

This case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Louisville and Washington Field Offices. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department.

You arrest me, but this is our House! No! You’ll never take our . . . We’re not silent anymore, understand?!” As the crowd he’s with reaches a line of officers, Marroquin can then be heard yelling, “Keep moving!”

Court documents say that one video on Marroquin’s phone was filmed from directly outside the House Chamber, looking through the broken door and into the faces of law enforcement with their weapons drawn and aimed back at the camera. Marroquin attempts to engage the officer in conversation, eventually shouting, “You’re a traitor!”

Marroquin exited the Capitol building at approximately 2:31 p.m.
