A year out from the riot, more than 700 people have been charged over the Jan. 6 violence, and as of late December, Texas had the second highest number of alleged Capitol rioters. Florida leads the pack with 80, but Texas racked up 66. The FBI’s Dallas office, which covers most of the top half of the state, had nabbed 35 people, said spokesperson Katherine Chaumont, who urged people to keep “calling those tips in.”

In early December, Keller resident Thomas Paul Conover, 53, was picked up by the FBI and hit with misdemeanor charges for allegedly entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct. “I don’t always storm the Capitol of the United States of America, but when I do, I prefer Coors Light,” Conover allegedly said in a Facebook video at the time. (He was actually toasting with a Coors Light in the video, screenshots show.)
