More than 2½ years after the Jan. 6 attack, the FBI has arrested the first man to enter the tunnel on the lower west terrace, the site of some of the most brutal incidents during the U.S. Capitol siege.
Brett Rena Rotella, a resident of North Carolina, was arrested Tuesday and was to make his first court appearance in North Carolina on Wednesday. Rotella, who was identified by online "Sedition Hunters" in early 2021, was known by the nickname #SleevelessRedTattoos, and he was notable because he was wearing shorts even though the temperature was in the 40s on Jan. 6, 2021. He faces felony charges of obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, in addition to misdemeanor charges.
