Six North Texans have been arrested on charges in connection with the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol.

They are among more than 100 people across the country who have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the mob assault on the building, and the FBI said more arrests are expected.

In a briefing with former Vice President Mike Pence with other officials Jan. 14, FBI Director Christopher Wray said more than 200 suspects have been identified.

“We know who you are, if you’re out there, and FBI agents are coming to find you,” Wray said. “If I were those people, you don’t want to be the ones to have FBI agents knocking on your door at 6 a.m. So anybody who plots or attempts violence in the coming week should count on a visit.”

The FBI has asked for tips about who may have incited or promoted violence at the Capitol. Anyone may submit information, including photos and videos, at fbi.gov/USCapitol.

These are the North Texans who have been arrested after storming the Capitol. This list will be updated if further arrests are made.

Larry Rendall Brock Jr., 54

The retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, has been charged with one count of entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Brock was charged after pictures and videos showed him inside the Senate chamber on Jan. 6 while wearing combat gear and carrying zip ties.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cureton this week ordered Brock released on restrictive conditions including house arrest.

Jennifer “Jenna” Leigh Ryan, 50

The Frisco real estate broker was arrested after turning herself in Friday, according to the FBI’s Dallas field office.

Ryan has been charged with “knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority” and “disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds,” according to the criminal complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Multiple social media posts showed Ryan her at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“We’re all gonna be up here,” she said in one video on social media. “We’re gonna be breaking those windows. … Because we have to.”

Ryan was released from custody this week and returned home, where she told KTVT-TV (Channel 11) that she wants President Donald Trump to pardon her and everyone involved in the siege.

Troy Anthony Smocks, 58

Smocks faces a charge of knowingly and willfully transmitting threats in interstate commerce. He was taken into custody Friday, authorities said.

Police said that after traveling to Washington, D.C., Smocks posted on social media about the insurrection, writing that Trump’s supporters would return to Washington on Jan. 19, and that they’d be armed.

“We will come in numbers that no standing army or police agency can match,” he wrote, according to a criminal complaint.

Guy Reffitt, 48

The Wylie man is accused of obstruction of justice and illegal entry, the FBI said Monday.

According to an affidavit, Reffitt told his family he went to Washington, D.C., “to protect the country,” that he brought a gun with him, and that he “stormed the Capitol.”

Images from that day show Reffitt wearing a helmet with a camera mounted on it, the affidavit said.

His son told authorities Reffitt warned him not to report him to the authorities or he would “do what he had to do,” according to the affidavit. While Reffitt’s daughter was on the phone with friends, he told her that if she betrayed the family, he would “put a bullet through” her phone.

Nolan Cooke, 22

Federal authorities say Cooke, from the Fannin County city of Savoy, wore a GoPro camera to document his time at the insurrection.

Footage shared on social media shows him pushing past police outside the Capitol, according to court documents.

Cooke was arrested Thursday and faces charges of acts during civil disorder, unlawful activities on Capitol grounds and entering or remaining on restricted buildings or grounds and disorderly or disruptive conduct in or near restricted buildings or grounds.

Garret Miller, 34

The Richardson man was arrested and charged after surveillance video – as well as his own social media posts – implicated him, according to a federal complaint.

Miller also allegedly made death threats in his posts, calling for the murder of a U.S. Capitol Police officer and the assassination of “AOC,” an apparent reference to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In one of his posts, Miller wrote, “Next time we bring the guns,” the complaint said.

Miller indicated he was going to drive to Washington D.C. for the Jan. 6 Donald Trump rally, the FBI says, and he claimed to have had a rope in his bag that day. He wrote that the last time he went to Washington for a Trump rally he “had a lot of guns” with him, the FBI says.
