LAS VEGAS (AP) – A Nevada man and a Tennessee man who were arrested in Las Vegas and accused of violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 have ties to an Idaho man who surrendered for arrest earlier this month, according to court documents.
Nathan J. DeGrave and Ronald L. Sandlin were in federal custody Friday pending an initial court appearance, scheduled Monday before a U.S. magistrate judge in Las Vegas, jail records and officials said.
Sandlin is allegedly seen on video fighting with police and apparently smoking a marijuana cigarette inside the Capitol Rotunda. DeGrave is accused of pushing officers.
Prosecutors link them with Josiah Colt, 34, an Idaho man who turned himself in to sheriff’s deputies Jan. 12 in Boise.
Sandra Breault, FBI spokeswoman in Las Vegas, confirmed the that DeGrave and Sandlin, both 31, were arrested Thursday in Las Vegas.
