Alan Hostetter, the former chief of the La Habra police department, is a ponytailed yoga instructor who found a second life in the new age industry after leaving law enforcement. He has been indicted for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
Two Orange County extremists — a former police chief and his partner in organizing Stop the Steal rallies — have been indicted along with members of the Three Percenters militia for their roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
The grand jury indictment, unsealed Thursday, alleges the men conspired on social media prior to the riot — including on a Telegram channel dubbed Answer the Call and via text messages — creating travel plans that included discussion of bringing weapons to the Capitol. On the day of the riot, they breached off-limits areas of the Capitol and encouraged others to do so as well, posting videos and pictures as they went, the indictment says.
On Dec. 29, prosecutors allege Taylor wrote on Telegram that, “I personally want to be on the front steps and be one of the first ones to breach the doors!”
