Charging documents for Bilyard describe the harrowing experience of a Metropolitan Police Department officer who said he was sprayed with bear spray on multiple occasions on Jan. 6 on the Lower West Terrace. Bilyard stands accused of one of those attacks, after an FBI agent located him on police body-camera video discharging a can of bear spray toward the officer.

She had posted on social media that she was going to D.C., saying “We The People are making a declaration … 1776!!” She traveled with three other people, staying in a rented condo in Williamsburg, one of the travelers told the FBI in an interview. The witness said they weren’t able to get close to the area where Pres. Donald Trump was speaking so they walked toward the Capitol. The FBI said the witness said they were separated from Southard-Rumsey and then later found her sitting on the steps on the east side of the Capitol building crying and saying she had gone into the building.

In videos taken inside the Capitol, she is seen entering the rotunda at about 2:26 p.m., about six minutes after members of the House and Senate and Vice President Mike Pence were evacuated, court documents state. She is then shown on video moving through Statuary Hall. Then, the FBI stated, she encountered a Capitol Police officer, “Sgt. N.V.” and began yelling, including the following statements: “Tell Pelosi we are coming for that bitch.” “There’s a hundred thousand of us, what’s it going to be?” “Last friend, last bullet. What’s it going to be.” Charging documents state she then pushed the sergeant, who in an eventual interview with the FBI, identified Southard-Rumsey as one of two main agitators in the group that approached him. The sergeant told the FBI Southard-Rumsey also obtained a flag pole, which she used to push against him to back him up against a set of doors, which opened and he fell into a statue and struck his head on the base.

In her home state of Florida, she was familiar to an officer in the FBI’s Tampa Field office, after multiple interactions at previous local protests.

A witness who knows both Adams and his cousin, Cody Page Carter Connell, shared video and photographs he took from the Capitol with the FBI. According to court records, the FBI also reviewed social media posts that show Adams at the front of a crowd on Capitol grounds pushing a police line.

In a social media conversation the day after the riot, Connell said, “4 of us breached the cops blockade and us same 4 breached the Capitol.”

Connell explained that Adams was his cousin, adding, “When we stormed the cops there was 8 of them and 4 of us so he got clubbed and shot with rubber bullet. But we pushed the cops against the wall, they dropped all their gear and left. That’s when we went to doors of Capitol building and breached it.”

Daniel Paul Gray

In the days after the riot, Gray posted a 4-minute video to Instagram, discussing his role in the riot, stating he was one of the first inside the Capitol. He also stated a female officer “stole” his cell phone outside the Capitol and that he said “I’m like you know what, we’re doing this and so we literally pushed them from the front steps of the Capitol all the way back.” He detailed storming Nancy Pelosi’s office and then coming upon the female officer with the Metropolitan Police Department he had earlier encountered and stated she “started crying, took off her vest, and ran down the stairs.” He also talks about the group arriving at a staircase and pushing the police down the staircase.

After viewing body worn camera video, the FBI concluded Gray confronted officers and shoved an officer using his baton to push him back. In other video, the FBI stated Gray was one of the first people trying to break through a police line, and that an MPD officer staggered backward, apparently affected by a chemical irritant that had been deployed. When she raised her hand to protect herself, the FBI stated, Gray appeared to reach out and grab her baton and push backwards. Court records state the officer lost her balance and fell down the western Rotunda stairs for several seconds, and was visibly injured and carried away by fellow officers.

By obtaining a search warrant for his social media accounts, the FBI found that Gray had posted messages saying the election was the “biggest scandal” of his lifetime and messaged someone that he had just joined the militia. In one message, he asked another person: “Are you gonna be in DC on the 6th like Trump asked us to be?”
