The Department of Justice said 43-year-old Donald Hazard of Hurst and 44-year-old Lucas Denny of Mansfield are charged with several federal offenses including assaulting an officer, obstruction, conspiracy and civil disorder.
Federal prosecutors said the duo are part of a militia group called the “Patriot Boys of North Texas” and used Facebook to recruit membership and plan their role in the riots in the days leading up to the chaos.

According to the complaint, Denny and Hazard were outfitted in tactical gear and joined other rioters in yelling at and assaulting police officers guarding the building.

Both Hazard and Denny are jailed pending further proceedings.
This brazen idiot was dumb enough to appear on video back in October:

According to the criminal complaint, in a message, Dennis asked Hazard if he knew “any other guys that can go that's [sic] like us and will fight, we could use them. And it will be paid for.”
Outside of using Facebook to recruit, the complaint said that both men were present on the day of the attack and forced their way inside of the Capitol, taking selfies and live-streaming from the mob. High-definition screenshots from video gathered from that day also showed the pair on the Capitol grounds.
But even in the days after the Jan. 6 riots, Denney and Hazard allegedly continued attempts to recruit people into their group. They also allegedly made numerous comments on Facebook "boasting" about their participation in the riot, claiming they would likely only receive minimal punishment.
Michael Phillips, a professor of American History at Collin College said the arrests and charges coming down 11 months after the attack on the U.S. Capitol are a signal of what the future may hold for militia groups.

Raw Story
The 44-year-old Denney of Mansfield, a suburb south of Fort Worth, is the president of a Three Percenter-oriented group called Patriot Boys that has been active in anti-vax rallies and vigilante patrols along the US-Mexico border this year. The FBI also arrested Donald Hazard, 43, of Hurst, Texas. Both men are charged with assaulting, resisting and impeding certain officers with a dangerous weapon or resulting in bodily injury.
The government alleges that Denney used social media to recruit members to join the Patriot Boys and travel to Washington DC on Jan. 6, and that Denney and Hazard began discussing plans for the trip as early as Dec. 25. Hazard also allegedly recruited others to join Patriot Boys. According to the government, Denney and Hazard, both outfitted in tactical gear, joined rioters on the west side of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Denney was arrested in Brackettville, a town near the US-Mexico border that is 400 miles from his home in Mansfield. Denney helped organize members of the Patriot Boys to travel to Kinney County, whose seat of government is Brackettville, after the local sheriff appeared in an interview on the Gateway Pundit website to discuss his plans to step up immigration enforcement efforts.
Denney and Hazard made their initial appearances in federal court in Texas today, according to the government, and both are in jail awaiting detention hearings.
