The Justice Department on Tuesday filed its first federal grand jury indictments against two defendants linked to the Capitol riot, including against an Alabama man alleged to have parked a truck filled with homemade bombs, guns and ammo two blocks from the Capitol.
Both men were arrested last week and their criminal allegations were made public shortly after the riot. The indictments formalize the charges the men, after they were arrested under criminal complaint.
Lonnie Leroy Coffman of Alabama appears to be the most serious defendant of more than 20 known federal defendants so far. He is currently detained and is set to appear before a judge this afternoon.
According to the new indictments, Coffman faces 17 criminal counts, largely for possession of multiple weapons including ammunition, shotgun shells and various guns, including a shotgun, a rifle, 3 pistols and 11 Molotov cocktails without registration in Washington, DC, on Jan. 6, according to the indictment.

The Falkville man facing charges in connection to the Washington Capitol riot had a handgun, an assault rifle and several Molotov cocktails in his truck, according to federal court documents.
The guns and explosives were found in Lonnie Leroy Coffmans truck as Capitol police conducted a sweep after finding a possible pipe bomb near the National Republican Club, according to Coffmans arrest affidavit.
Officers saw a handgun in the passenger seat of Coffmans red pickup truck, according to the affidavit. After dealing with the National Republican Club explosives, as well as one found near the Democratic National Committee Headquarters, the bomb squad moved to Coffmans truck.

During questioning, police said Coffman admitted the Mason jars contained melted styrofoam and gasoline, which police said has the sticking effect of napalm.
