A Crawford County man has been charged with illegally entering the Capitol Building and other offenses in connection to the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington. Jeremy J. Vorous, of Venango, faces federal counts of entering a restricted building without lawful authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol Grounds, and obstruction of an official proceeding. In charging documents, FBI agents said they received screenshots of Mr. Vorous’ Facebook profile where he said he was inside the Capitol and then wrote, “Bout to rush in again diff door.” Another Facebook comment posted by Mr. Vorous, seemingly in response to allegations that the Capitol riot was staged, has a photo of him in the Capitol Crypt and says, “[D]oes that look staged to you.” He also alleged in that comment that he was sprayed with chemical irritant and that he saw the body of Ashli E. Babbitt, the pro-Trump rioter who was killed during the storming of the Capitol. “[T]he dead girl was 10ft from me,” Mr. Vorous wrote on social media. “In the photo, Mr. Vorous is depicted wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt with ‘NOT TODAY LIBERAL’ in white letters on the front and holding a red, white and blue cowboy-style hat,” the charging documents read. Another photo shows the man in front of a statue with a comment that reads, “We will take what we want.”
