Case Summary
Federal prosecutors say Glenn Croy took a photo and videos of himself inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, which he then sent to another person on Facebook. In one message, he allegedly wrote, "I was there" and sent a photo of himself in front of a bust of Abraham Lincoln. Prosecutors say Croy is also visible in footage from a police officer's body camera during the riot. According to the government, Croy was active on Twitter. And in December 2020, when Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado tweeted, “Who is going to be in DC on January 6th to stand with President Donald Trump?” he allegedly replied: “fellow Coloradan we will be there."
