A Texas man who posted death threats online against Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a U.S. Capitol Police officer has been arrested and faces federal charges for allegedly participating in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Federal officials said in a criminal complaint that Garret Miller of Dallas has been charged on four counts including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. He was arrested Wednesday, according to the Justice Department.
Miller allegedly posted selfies of himself on social media wearing a pro-Donald Trump hat both inside and outside the Capitol. According to the complaint, surveillance footage from inside the building shows Miller, carrying an American flag and backpack, pushing his way into the Capitol with a throng of insurrectionists.
He later allegedly posted multiple messages on social media about his participation in the riot. He said the group he was with had stormed the Capitol, though he said they had been unarmed.
Next time we bring the guns, he tweeted, according to the complaint.
