A Washington County man was arrested Wednesday and charged with attacking police officers during the deadly insurrection and riot at the U.S. Capitol in January while Congress was in the process of counting electoral votes.
Landon Kenneth Copeland, 33, of Apple Valley, is charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees; obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder; knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; and violent entry and disorderly conduct on capitol grounds. He is the fifth Utahn charged with participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Copeland is accused of grabbing a riot shield, shoving another crowd member into the police line and throwing a "metal bike rack fence barricade" toward officers after a tug-of-war over the bike rack, according to Department of Justice and a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City.

"So that everyone knows I go to see the FBI and a judge tomorrow," one post from Wednesday states. "I guess peacefully protesting at the Capitol is now illegal and they are trying to hunt us all down to try and teach us a lesson. Unfortunately only one option remains when we return. We bring guns and take the Capitol building without intention of being peaceful. This ends with the government bombing their own people. I had hopes it wouldn't. But here we are."

Good luck getting a judge to believe he's got any remorse, contrition, or acceptance of responsibility in any potential plea deal when the prosecutors get to contrast that gas-lighting claim of "peacefully protesting" against the video evidence... Never mind the threat to take up arms against the government.
