Two of Capitol Rioter's Relatives Sent Authorities His Father's Texts Identifying Him, FBI Says

A family drama played out in newly unsealed charges in the U.S. Capitol insurrection docket on Thursday, with federal prosecutors alleging that two of accused rioter Grayson Sherrill‘s relatives reached out to the FBI with copies of texts from his father.

“Witness One identified Sherrill as a family member,” FBI agent Jamie Vera wrote in a seven-page affidavit, which was initially filed under seal on Feb. 23. “Witness One told law enforcement that Sherrill’s father texted another family member a picture of Sherrill inside of the U.S. Capitol and said that it was Sherrill.”

As might be expected, this initial tipster and the suspect were not close. They only met “about once a year,” according to the charges.

The second witness, also Sherrill’s family member, shared a similar story with authorities.

A thoroughly disagreeable bunch who revel in being called deplorable. Those kinds of people usually leave a trail of broken relationships and people in their wake as they travel through life. A chance to turn the tables on that jerk? Line forms on the right.
