<\/p>\nA COMPETITIVE bodybuilder has been arrested for his alleged role in the Capitol Riots on January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n
Online investigators uncovered the suspect's Instagram account and he was taken into custody more than seven months on from the shocking incident.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Logan Barnhart from Lansing, Michigan was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday, August 17, 2021, for his role in the Capitol Riots.<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old was recognized by social media sleuths Sedition Hunters after he shared a series of Instagram posts flaunting his physique. <\/p>\n
During the hunt for him, he gained the nickname 'CatSweat', due to him wearing a Caterpillar sweatshirt in the alleged footage of him at the violent insurrection on January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n
On his incriminating Instagram account, Barnhart was reportedly seen posing in videos – wearing the same Caterpillar jacket and a hat with an American flag.<\/p>\n
According to HuffPost, the alleged rioter had shared multiple right-wing memes on his page alongside thirst trap snaps of his bodybuilding.<\/p>\n
Barnhart is believed to work as an equipment operator for his dad's company, Barnhart & Son Inc, as well as modeling part-time.<\/p>\n
His side hustle has seen him grace the covers of a string of raunchy novels – including one about the forbidden love of step-siblings, titled, \u00a0'Stepbrother UnSEALed: A Bad Boy Military Romance'.<\/p>\n
As well as his significant social media presence, Barnhart also has a YouTube channel with 92 subscribers, showing off his workout regimes.<\/p>\n
Barnhart was allegedly filmed dragging a police officer down a flight of stairs outside a tunnel on the Capitol's western end.<\/p>\n
Another rioter then proceeded to beat the cop with a flagpole, sparking a high-profile search for the perpetrators.<\/p>\n
Several other people were arrested in the wake of the riots, but Barnhart's face was obscured by a pair of sunglasses. He was later seemingly spotted in a series of other videos and images after an online appeal.<\/p>\n
Using facial recognition technology, the online sleuths found his Instagram account that showed him wearing the same clothes as on January 6.<\/p>\n
Barnhart was arrested on a string of federal offenses, including assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon, aiding and abetting, and other charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over 613 people have been arrested so far in almost all 50 states for their alleged role in the Capitol riots, which saw five people killed.<\/p>\n
The FBI has continuously turned to the American people for their help in identifying suspects from video and photographs of the riot.<\/p>\n
According to Insider, only 27 federally charged rioters have entered\u00a0guilty pleas\u00a0so far.<\/p>\n
Authorities are still searching for hundreds of suspects who they believe to have been a part of the chaos at the Capitol earlier this year.<\/p>\n
