Per Document #65 (indictment), Edward Badalian, Daniel Rodriguez and a REDACTED individual were in communications in the weeks leading up the January 6th expressing desire to arrive in DC a couple days before. The trio made their way to the Lower West Terrace around 2:40 PM. Daniel Rodriguez used some sort of electroshock weapon (that was given to him by another, unnamed individual) on a Capitol Police officer before members of the crowd broke through police lines and entered the building. At around 3:45 PM, the trio had entered the building through a broken window. Rodriguez and the REDACTED individual, while inside the building, allegedly damaged windows, furniture, doors, and allegedly stole escape hoods from rooms inside the Capitol Building.
Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
