Federal agents on Thursday arrested a Trump supporter over his role in the Capitol riot after uncovering evidentiary photos from the trash bin of his already-arrested Capitol rioter father’s phone.
Jeremy Grace, of Battle Ground, Washington, “was arrested Wednesday in Molalla, Oregon on unlawful entry of a restricted building and other charges, KOMO News reported. “His father, Jeffrey Grace, was arrested back in February after being linked to the January 6 Capitol riot.”
In March, Jeffrey told local station KATU that he did nothing wrong, although he admitted to attending the “Save America” Trump rally in Washington, D.C. with his son.
“In an interview with the FBI, Jeffrey said he ended up getting separated from his son before he entered the Capitol building,” said the report. “Agents said they later checked his cell phone for evidence and found three selfie-style videos in the phone’s trash folder – all dated January 6, 2021.”
A number of Capitol rioters have been tracked down by their use of social media or technology to record or brag about their actions.
