According to the court documents, Hamner was wearing a sweater that said “Guns Don’t Kill People, Clintons Do” while he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was captured on video multiple times as the rioters worked to breach barricades police had put up around the Capitol before many stormed inside, according to investigators.
Those videos show the man alleged to be Hamner fighting with Capitol and Metropolitan Police and working with others to push a large metal “TRUMP” sign into the line of officers trying to keep the barricade on the Capitol’s West Plaza in place, according to the documents.
Glad the FBI found him…
Raw Story
Hamner allegedly used an image of himself at the Capitol — superimposed with former president Donald Trump — as his profile photo on the right-wing social media app Telegram. FBI agents traced the Telegram account to a phone number associated with both Hamner's wife and a tiling business he runs in Colorado Springs.
"Additionally, a person who 'has had personal contact with Hamner' confirmed to investigators that he was the man seen in the videos and in an online business review Hamner left for a restaurant, according to court records," the station reports.
"Great food, close by, glad I found them," Hamner wrote of an unidentified Colorado Springs restaurant in the review, according to court records.
Department of Justice
A Colorado man was arrested today for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, which disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress that was in the process of ascertaining and counting the electoral votes related to the presidential election.
Thomas Patrick Hamner, 48, of Peyton, Colo., is charged with engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers with a dangerous weapon, among other charges. He was arrested in Colorado Springs and was to make his initial court appearance today in the District of Colorado.
According to court documents, at approximately 1 p.m. on Jan. 6, a crowd of violent rioters assembled on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol. U.S. Capitol Police formed a line of bike racks to act as a barrier against the crowd. Officers fended off repeated attempts by the rioters to pull on the bike racks, either with their hands or with ropes and straps. Video footage depicts Hamner fighting with officers from the U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department over one such police barricade on the West Plaza. Additionally, at approximately 1:40 p.m., Hamner joined other rioters in pushing a large metal sign into the defensive line formed by law enforcement.
This case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.
The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Denver Field Office, Colorado Springs Resident Agency and the FBI’s Washington Field Office, which identified Hamner as #61 in its seeking information photos. Assistance was provided by the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Capitol Police.
The FBI continues to seek the public’s assistance in identifying individuals who participated in unlawful conduct during the Capitol Insurrection.
