Staff Report –
The FBI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a man who is wanted for an alleged assault on federal law enforcement officers during the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C.
The FBI released new photos of this individual on Thursday in its efforts to identify him, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The suspect is described as a white male who is approximately 5’11” to 6’1” tall, and weighs approximately 225 pounds, with a stocky build. He has white hair, brown eyes, and is estimated to be in his mid-to-late 50s.
He is pictured wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a “Berkshire Nautilus” logo, which is a local health club in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
“We are working very closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to identify those who attempted to use violence and destruction to intimidate, coerce, or affect the conduct of our government,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston Division.
“We are asking the public to take a close look at these photos and to reach out to us if you know who this man is. We believe he was involved in a violent assault on federal officers and no amount of information is too small or irrelevant.”
Anyone with information about the identity of this individual should call 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov to submit information. Please reference #141—the assault on federal officer photo number—when calling or submitting information online.
Additional photos and videos of other individuals sought in connection with the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol can be found at fbi.gov/capitolviolence.

Before you continue, I’d like to ask if you could support our independent journalism as we head into one of the most critical news periods of our time in 2024.
The New American Journal is deeply dedicated to uncovering the escalating threats to our democracy and holding those in power accountable. With a turbulent presidential race and the possibility of an even more extreme Trump presidency on the horizon, the need for independent, credible journalism that emphasizes the importance of the upcoming election for our nation and planet has never been greater.
However, a small group of billionaire owners control a significant portion of the information that reaches the public. We are different. We don’t have a billionaire owner or shareholders. Our journalism is created to serve the public interest, not to generate profit. Unlike much of the U.S. media, which often falls into the trap of false equivalence in the name of neutrality, we strive to highlight the lies of powerful individuals and institutions, showing how misinformation and demagoguery can harm democracy.
Our journalists provide context, investigate, and bring to light the critical stories of our time, from election integrity threats to the worsening climate crisis and complex international conflicts. As a news organization with a strong voice, we offer a unique, outsider perspective that is often missing in American media.
Thanks to our unique reader-supported model, you can access the New American journal without encountering a paywall. This is possible because of readers like you. Your support keeps us independent, free from external influences, and accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay for news.
Please help if you can.
American journalists need your help more than ever as forces amass against the free press and democracy itself. We must not let the crypto-fascists and the AI bots take over.
