WASHINGTON — An alleged Jan. 6 participant who online sleuths dubbed 'Conan O'Riot' due to his resemblance to legendary former late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien was arrested by the FBI this week. Derek Nelson, who was an active-duty U.S. Marine from October 2011 to September 2015, was arrested in Champaign, Illinois, on Wednesday, according to federal court records.
6 case shows him running away after another rioter sets off a fire extinguisher near the doors to the House of Representatives, which were barricaded as members fled the violent mob. A federal magistrate judge in Illinois released Nelson on his own recognizance on Wednesday, ordered him not to travel outside the continental U.S. without court approval and banned him from possessing a firearm, destructive device, or other weapon.
