The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Sunday that two men had been charged in federal court in connection to the deadly riot that took place at the Capitol building on Wednesday.

According to a statement released by the DOJ, their cases are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia as well as the Counterterrorism Section of the DOJ’s National Security Division. Both offices are being assisted by their counterparts in Tennessee and Texas.

Larry Rendell Brock was arrested in Texas and charged with one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority as well as one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Brock was allegedly garbed in a green helmet, green tactical vest with patches and was holding a white flex cuff used by law enforcement to restrain or detain subjects.

The other man arrested on Sunday was Eric Gavelek Munchel of Tennessee, who was charged with the same crimes of unlawfully entering and violent entry on Capitol grounds.
