FBI Arrests 2 in South Florida in Connection With Capitol Breach, Including Retired Army Captain

https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/fbi-arrests-2-in-south-florida-in-connection-with-u-s-capitol-breach/2365567/

The FBI has arrested two people in South Florida in connection with the Jan. 6 breach at the U.S. Capitol, including a former Army captain who ran for the Florida State House last year.

Gabriel Augustin Garcia, a former U.S. Army captain, a 2020 candidate for the Florida State House and a reported member of the Proud Boys, was arrested in connection with the Capitol breach.

Garcia is facing charges of aiding and abetting certain acts during civil disorder,
violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, according to a criminal complaint.

The complaint said Garcia posted at least two Facebook live videos on his account on Jan. 6.

Must have thought Trump would pardon him and call him a hero.
