The FBI is continuing its manhunt of individuals who raided the Capitol building on January 6th. West Virginia lawmaker, Derrick Evans, is among several who have been arrested for their participation in the riots.

Newly-elected State Delegate Derrick Evans, who represents Wayne County, live-streamed himself on his Facebook page participating in the riot. In his live stream, he can be heard shouting, "We're in! Keep it moving, baby!" His live stream video has since been deleted; however, it continues to circulate online through other accounts.

In his live stream, Evans can be seen shouting and pushing along with others in the crowd as they make their way through the Capitol building. At one point, you can hear Evans yell, “Our house! I don't know where we're going. I'm following the crowd.”

Although Evans' lawyer shared with a local news station last Friday that Evans would not step down from his legislative role because he had not committed a criminal act, on Saturday, Evans released a resignation letter in which he shares,

"The past few days have certainly been a difficult time for my family, colleagues and myself, so I feel it’s best at this point to resign my seat in the House and focus on my personal situation and those I love." Evans adds, "I take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians. I hope this action I take today can remove any cloud of distraction from the state Legislature, so my colleagues can get to work in earnest building a brighter future for our state. And more importantly, I hope it helps to begin the healing process, so we can all move forward and come together as 'One Nation, Under God.'"

Evans’ lawyer, John Bryan, shared that Evans did not commit a crime last Wednesday. Instead, Bryan maintains that Evans attended as an independent journalist who was documenting the day's events.

A live stream video shared earlier in the day by Evans seems to oppose that defense as the lawmaker can be heard saying to his 30,000 followers, "They're making an announcement right now: If Pence betrays us you better get your mind right because we're storming that building. Evans can be heard laughing and then saying, "I'm just the messenger, so don't be hating on me."

Over the weekend Evans was charged with one count of “knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol Grounds."

Evans Among Several Arrested After Images go Viral

Evans was one of three men charged in a D.C. federal court on Saturday. The other two men included Jacob Anthony Chansley of Arizona and Adam Johnson of Florida.

Chansley, who also goes by the internet name Jake Angeli, could be described by many as the face of the rioters as he stood out with his red, white, and blue painted face, bearskin headdress, and horns. He carried along with him a spear that had an American flag tied to it as he paraded around the Capitol grounds.

Adam Johnson also made the rounds online with the now-viral photo that shows him walking out with Nancy Pelosi’s lectern as he wears a big smile on his face. Chansley and Johnson were both charged with “knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.” Johnson faces an additional charge of “theft of government property.”

FBI Uses Social Media to Continue Manhunt

The Capitol riot that turned deadly has sparked a national manhunt by the FBI for individuals pictured participating in the rioting. FBI Director Christopher Wray shared with the media that the Bureau would utilize its “full investigative resources” to “aggressively pursue those involved” in the unrest.

The FBI has shared hundreds of photos pulled from security cameras and social media accounts of rioters who will likely face federal charges once they are identified. Many individuals have already been identified and arrested because of the internet's rapid response.

Notable individuals arrested and charged for their participation include Richard Barnett, the man who was photographed sitting at Pelosi's desk with his feet propped up. Barnett was arrested when he returned to his home state of Arkansas and was subsequently charged with "violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds" and "theft of public money, property, or records."

An Alabama man, Lonnie Leroy Coffman, 70, Is also facing federal charges after authorities found 11 Molotov cocktails in his car along with an unregistered assault rifle and a pistol.

As arrests continue to pile on, the FBI has set up a hotline for anyone who recognizes any of the individuals in the released wanted photos. Because many of the rioters did not cover their faces or wear masks, the FBI is hopeful that the identification process will be swift. However, the investigation into holding accountable all who participated is expected to take quite some time.
