Four more members of the right-wing militia group Oath Keepers were arrested by federal agents in connection with the Jan. 6 assault on the US Capitol, according to newly unsealed documents.
Joseph Hackett, 50, of Sarasota, Florida; Jason Dolan, 44, of Wellington, Florida; and William Isaacs, 21, of Kissimmee, Florida, and Jonathan Walden were charged with conspiracy to obstruct the certifications of the 2020 presidential election results by Congress as well as with the destruction of the U.S. Capitol and knowingly entering restricted areas in and around the Capitol.
Federal prosecutors say the four attempted “to corruptly obstruct, influence, and impede an official proceeding, that is, the Certification of the Electoral College vote” — a charge that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
In the filing, prosecutors said the men came in a “grand theft auto golf cart … at times swerving around law enforcement vehicles.”
Hackett and Isaacs were reportedly among those who moved “Ranger file” through the crowd, relying on a military formation to push their way into the building.
The Oath Keepers, a right-wing militia organization with chapters across the country that espouses anti-government beliefs, has been a key focus of federal prosecutors.
The Justice Department has now arrested at least 440 people in connection with the Jan. 6 riot
