A man charged with breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6 is also accused of stealing a jacket and hat from a Capitol Police officer and then bragging about it to colleagues, according to federal court documents.
Darrell Neely was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Monday and charged with theft of government property for allegedly participating in the Capitol riot, court documents show. Neely told three co-workers about how he nabbed items from a Capitol Police officer, along with china plates, from inside the building, according to a criminal complaint from Sept. 30 that was unsealed Monday.
Another witness said Neely in a second video call displayed"two china plates that were cream and maroon in color ... Witness 1 thought NEELY insinuated that the items were taken from inside the Capitol building.
The complaint said the FBI received a tip on Jan. 9 that Neely breached the Capitol three days earlier. Screenshots of video footage captured him at the Capitol building. In one shot from inside the Capitol, he appeared"to be holding a marijuana cigarette,” the complaint said.
