Case Summary
Alan Michael St. Onge can allegedly be seen in publicly available video footage pushing against police barricades along with other rioters on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Soon after, that barricade was overrun. Federal court records state that St. Onge can also allegedly be seen in surveillance footage at the entrance to a tunnel leading into the building, where at one point he is handed a police shield, and sets it down next to him. St. Onge can also allegedly be seen passing a black speaker up through the rioters, and handing another rioter who appeared to be suffering from pepper spray a bottle of water. Later, court records state that St. Onge took part in a pushing effort to overrun the police in the tunnel.
