Feds track down another prominent rioter: "Spaz", lead one of the first breaches into the Capitol




Prosecutors have arrested and charged two Proud Boys members on Friday—one of whom allegedly led hordes of angry MAGA supporters into the Capitol and spoke about killing Vice President Mike Pence “if given the chance,” according to court filings.

The FBI has identified Dominic Pezzola as the Capitol rioter known as “Spaz” seen breaking into the building with a police shield. According to a criminal complaint, Pezzola encouraged rioters after smashing the glass protecting the west side of the building.


Pezzola’s successful shattering of the window was one of the first breaches of the Capitol and allowed other rioters to stream inside and unlock doors for more people to storm the building. A series of open-source photographs also confirm Pezzola was the individual who broke the glass.

A witness said Pezzola and his associates planned to return to D.C. on the day of Biden’s Inauguration, where the group planned to kill people. The witness said all members of the group had firearms or access to firearms.
Glad they got him
