FBI agents took John Banuelos into custody at about 9 a.m. in Summit, Ill. on multiple felony and misdemeanors charges. Among them are three gun charges, including unlawful discharge of a gun, and obstruction. Video allegedly of Banuelos firing two rounds from a pistol during the riot was used by federal agents to identify and charge him.
During the insurrection, Banuelos had climbed up on scaffolding, which was captured on video run by former Virginia State Rep. Derrick Evans, who was himself convicted for January 6 crimes.
Banuelos, who is 39, appeared in federal court in Chicago Friday afternoon. No bond was a set, and a detention hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.ARTICLE HERE
