The retired Air Force vet who stormed the Senate floor with zip-tie handcuffs amid a pro-Trump insurrection Wednesday was positively identified thanks to a tip from his ex-wife.

Texas resident Larry Rendall Brock, 53, wore a green military helmet and body armor in dramatic photos showing him among the insurrectionists who made it all the way to the Capitol’s inner sanctums, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s private office, federal prosecutors said Sunday.

According to an FBI affidavit, Brock’s ex-wife saw one of the images, recognized his face and alarming ensemble and picked up the phone.

“On January 8, 2021, a witness called the FBI National Threat Operations Center to report that she recognized Brock in a picture taken inside the Capitol building during the rioting,” Special Agent Milagro Garcia wrote in the former lieutenant colonel’s arrest warrant affidavit.

1. If you don't want to be identified after committing a felony on national TV

It’s probably not a good idea to do the deed at all if you have an ex-wife, especially if the separation was less than amicable.

2. I love the phrase "alarming ensemble."
