Washington DC’s CBS affiliate reports:

A Marine Corps veteran who self-published a book about the Capitol riot was arrested Thursday for allegedly joining the mob effort to knock down police barricades on Jan. 6.

Nathan A. Thornsberry, of North Branch, Michigan, is charged with two felony counts of civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding police and the four standard misdemeanors filed in Jan. 6 cases.

According to charging documents, the FBI’s Flint office received a tip identifying Thornsberry as the man behind a self-published book about the Capitol riot. The book, titled “January 6: A Patriot’s Story,” is described on Amazon as an “eyewitness account of the events of January 6th, 2021.”

From the Justice Department:

A Michigan man was arrested today for assaulting law enforcement and other charges related to his alleged conduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.

His alleged actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.

Nathan Thornsberry, 42, of North Branch, Michigan, is charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with a felony offense of obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.

In addition to the felonies, Thornsberry is charged with four misdemeanor offenses, including Entering or Remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, act of physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a Capitol building or grounds.

The FBI arrested Thornsberry in Davison, Michigan, and he made his initial appearance in the Eastern District of Michigan.

According to court documents, Thornsberry was identified among a crowd of rioters gathered on the Lower West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021.

Beginning at approximately 2:06 p.m. EST, Thornsberry was captured on police body-worn camera footage participating in the crowd’s attempts to breach the manned police line by pushing metal bike-rack barriers against police officers in the area.

It is alleged that Thornsberry joined others in resisting Metropolitan Police Department and United States Capitol Police officers just north of the media tower on the Lower West Plaza.

Thornsberry allegedly repeatedly pushed himself backward against a metal bike rack barricade manned by law enforcement officers.

Officers then attempted to push the bike racks back, and were met with resistance from Thornsberry and others.

It is alleged that officers directed the crowd of rioters to move back and, in response, Thornsberry can be heard multiple times yelling, “Bring It!” Officers eventually regained control of a bike rack and placed it on the ground.

The book has dozens of five-star reviews. Yeah.
