Case Summary
“Do Terrorist break into the building to take selfie’s? Do they stop to ask the riot police in the Capitol where the bathroom is? Do they ask if they can take selfies with the riot police? Patriots do. And this is what happened,” wrote Vic Don Williams, who goes by Stiemy Vic Williams on Facebook, next to a picture of himself on the steps of the Capitol, according to court documents. Several witnesses contacted the FBI and reported that Williams participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 events at the Capitol based on content they viewed on Facebook. Agents interviewed Williams at his home, where he admitted posting on social media and being outside the Capitol, but not entering. According to the FBI, Williams, who owns a roasting company, gave two bags of coffee to the interviewing agents as they were leaving. Later footage reviewed by the FBI shows Williams inside the Capitol, contradicting his previous statements.
