Camp Pendleton Marine charged with breaching Capitol on Jan. 6 [Breaking]
Coomer, Abate and Hellonen are among 12 service members who have been charged, according to reporting by Military.com.
A statement of facts written by an FBI agent includes photographs of the three men inside the Capitol side-by-side with photos from their military identification cards. The agent’s statement, included as part of the criminal complaint, alleges that an Instagram post by Coomer prompted the investigation against him and the other Marines.
As part of the same conversation, he claimed that “One of my buddies here got a ballot for his cat that died three years ago. It’s literally a joke to them.” Federal agents identified images they said show Coomer inside the Capitol wearing a sweatshirt, a jacket and a red “Make America Great Again” hat. Investigators said photos of that person matched Coomer’s Indiana driver’s license, military identification card and Instagram profile photo.
