A Missouri man who participated in the January 6 insurrection is in the custody of federal authorities after the pistol he lost on the Capitol steps led FBI agents directly to him.
According to court documents, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and FBI agents traced a semiautomatic pistol which DC Metropolitan Police officers found on the ground during a clash with the pro-Trump mob that day to Jarod Bargar, a Centralia, Missouri, resident who previously told agents that he was in Washington on 6 January 2021 — the day of the riot — but said he did not enter the Capitol.
