Richard Watrous, Capitol Riot Suspect, Said He Followed TFG's Orders

A man charged in connection with the January 6 Capital riot said to FBI agents he had planned his trip to Washington D.C. immediately after Donald Trump told people to attend protests and that he then headed toward the building straight after the former president had finished his speech.

Richard Watrous, 59, of Cortland, New York, has been charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

His arrest was announced on Tuesday by Janeen DiGuiseppi, head of the FBI's Albany office.

According to a criminal complaint, Watrous was identified as being at the Capitol on January 6 after his location was tracked via his cell phone.
