Alan Michael St. Onge, a 35-year-old man from Brevard, North Carolina, has been arrested and charged with felony civil disorder and three misdemeanor charges for his actions during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The charges include civil disorder, a felony, as well as entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and impeding passage through the Capitol grounds or buildings.
According to court documents, St. Onge was seen in camera footage on the east and west sides of the U.S. Capitol and near an entrance to the U.S. Capitol building on the Lower West Terrace, known as "the tunnel." Specifically, he participated in the breach of the police barricade on the east plaza of the U.S. Capitol before traveling to the LWT tunnel, which he entered and while inside, repeatedly pushed against the police line.
After the police line was breached on the east side, St. Onge walked toward the southwest side of the U.S. Capitol building. Another video shows St. Onge walking toward the west front of the U.S. Capitol where numerous police officers were protecting the building.
St. Onge was arrested today in North Carolina and made his initial appearance in the Western District of North Carolina. This case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.
The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Charlotte and Washington Field Offices, with valuable assistance provided by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department.
In the 29 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,000 individuals have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol.
