WASHINGTON, D.C. (WITN) – A former Camp Lejeune Marine is one of the latest people to be arrested for the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Nathan Thornsberry is charged with felony offense of obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, and four misdemeanors. Those are entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, act of physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a Capitol building or grounds.

The feds say they learned of Thornsberry’s involvement after the man wrote the book, “January 6: A Patriot’s Story” and a friend tipped off the FBI.

Pictures taken during the attack show a man identified as Thornsberry, wearing a black jacket with a Marine Corps emblem on the back, a “Trump 2020” shirt, and gloves with reinforced knuckles.

Court documents say Thornsberry, of North Branch, Michigan, was identified in a crowd of rioters gathered on the Lower West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol. The man was captured on police body-worn camera footage participating in the crowd’s attempts to breach the police line by pushing metal bike-rack barriers against police officers in the area, according to supporting documents.

The feds say the former Marine joined others in resisting police officers, with Thornsberry repeatedly pushing himself backward against a metal bike rack barricade manned by officers. As police moved rioters back, Thornsberry can be heard multiple times yelling, “Bring It!”

The Marine Corps says Thornsberry was on active duty from 2006 to 2011, obtaining the rank of corporal. They say he was last assigned to the 8th Engineer Support Battalion at Camp Lejenue.
