Ohio Man Arrested for Kickstarting January 6th Violence

 

     The Liberty Valley series continues. Insurrection Detection is dedicated to reporting and exposing the crimes committed on January 6th and the individuals nationwide who committed them. However, in the course of the past nearly three years of doing this work, one thing has become abundantly clear: Northeast Ohio is a hotbed of domestic extremism. We've highlighted the Liberty Valley "Church," which has sent creepy mailers to residents and embraced January 6th defendants with open arms. It's got ties to the Akron-Canton Proud Boys and local politicians, who have ties to January 6th defendants like Steven Billingsley, who wanted to "hang" Nancy Pelosi; Clayton Norris, who blames Jews for all the world's problems; and John Douglas Wright, who assaulted police after collecting $5,000 to bus 100 people to Washington, D.C. and is serving 49 months in federal prison.

     Now, there has been a new arrest of a member of this circle. Jamie Wright, 36, of Bowerston has been arrested and charged with felony civil disorder and several related misdemeanors. Jamie Wright was first identified in 2021 when a search was conducted of John Douglas Wright's phone. As the name suggests, John Douglas Wright is Jamie Wright's father. Like John Douglas Wright and Clayton Norris, Jamie Wright engaged in several protracted struggles with police over the barricades that protected the Capitol from the mob. The three men committed some of the earliest acts of violence that day and allowed the mob to surge past police, resulting in many of the events that occurred in the hours ahead.

     A March 2021 search of the senior Wright's phone revealed that on January 8th, two days after the events of the insurrection, Wright sent a message stating, "I GOING TO SEND A PICTURE OF ME JANIE (sic) AND CLAYTON TO SHOW HIM." The picture he sent was the one featured below, which shows the three men attacking the police lines. 

     John Douglas Wright is behind bars. Clayton Norris is rapidly approaching his trial on felony January 6th charges. Now, Jamie Wright has been arrested on felony charges. All three of these men are likely to be convicted felons and spend time in prison. All three certainly deserve it. We will continue our work to break up this circle of felons, of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and domestic extremists.

January 6th Felon Hopes To Be Reunited With Girl He Served Prison Time for Trafficking

     Buckle up when I say that this is one of the most disturbing January 6th cases I have ever seen, even though the defendant in this case has not been charged with any acts of violence or property destruction. I've already written about Michael Marroquin here . He spent over an hour inside the Capitol, shouted, "Keep moving," when insurrectionists came upon a police line, and made it to the hallway outside the House of Representatives where Ashli Babbitt was shot. While there, he took a now-viral photo of an officer with his firearm pointed at Marroquin. Marroquin shouted that the officer was a "traitor" and dared the police to arrest him.       Marroquin has a disturbing past. In the article published soon after his January 6th arrest, I described his arrest for human trafficking in Bolivia. In 1989, Marroquin was diagnosed with lupus nephritis and given six months to live. He has gone on to live 35 years, and this seeming divine intervention led him to star

Here's What Happened to the Seven January 6th Defendants From Northern California

     Sean McHugh, an Auburn resident with a significant criminal history, was convicted of felony charges of assaulting law enforcement and obstruction of an official proceeding for his egregious actions that day, which included trying to breach barricades at least four times, inciting the mob and insulting law enforcement with a bullhorn, spraying chemical spray at officers, and pushing a large metal "Trump" sign into the police line. He was sentenced to 78 months in prison, which he is serving through December 2026 at the FCI at Victorville. After that, he gets to spend three years on probation and pay $7,200 in fines, fees, and restitution.      Jorge Aaron Riley, a Sacramento resident and self-proclaimed "Native Republican" who stormed the Capitol on January 6th "for the war," pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He is serving his sentence through November 2024 at FCI Lompo

Ohio Man Who Raped Deaf Girl Arrested for Assaulting Police on January 6th

     At the sentencing of two Oath Keepers last week, Judge Amit Mehta criticized the lack of media coverage of the hearing as well as a public ignorance to the events of January 6th. There are many narratives about January 6th that need to be actively fought. One of these narratives is that the people at the Capitol were ordinary Americans who got caught up in the moment because of Trump. While that may be true for some, and Trump certainly bears criminal culpability for what happened that day, I referred to the mob in the days after the insurrection as a "sea of degenerates." More and more, this is being proven true.      Just last week, David Paul Daniel of Mint Hill, North Carolina, was charged federally for sexually abusing two girls and documenting the abuse before posting depictions online. He joins the long list of January 6th defendants with criminal histories. For child sex crimes alone, the list is extensive: a Citrus Heights man was also indicted for receiving chi
