Arkansas man who joined '14 Brownsville militia arrested at Capitol insurrection with guns, ammo

Thirteen minutes before the United States Congress convened at 1 p.m. on Jan. 6 to certify President Joe Biden’s election victory, U.S. Capitol Police responded to an area in the vicinity of the National Republican Club and the Democratic National Committee Headquarters in Washington D.C.

Authorities had discovered explosive devices.

As part of this response, police established a secure perimeter to conduct an investigation, while hundreds of people stormed the Capitol in a bid to overthrow the election for former President Donald J. Trump, falsely believing the election was stolen.
