With a solemn tone and wrinkled brows, Owen Shroyer, the host of the show, Infowars told his audience the bad news. There is a warrant for his arrest, and Shroyer is going to turn himself in on Monday.

The reason for the warrant is that he is charged in connection with the US Capitol Riot, which happened on 6 January. This incident happened when the then President Donald Trump tried to block lawmakers from endorsing the presidential elections in November 2020.

For some time, Owen Shroyer spread false information claiming that the elections were rigged. Now he is facing federal charges for his alleged participation. Shroyer said on Friday, “There’s a lot of questions. Some I have answers to; some I don’t. I plan on declaring the innocence of these charges because I am.”

Among the charges Shroyer faces the charges of a misdemeanor, entering a restricted building or remaining in one, disorderly conduct on the grounds. So far, reports say that the Federal court did not list a lawyer.

However, what I can say is that according to the court documents, there are video footage showing Shroyer march into the US Capitol grounds and telling the crowd “to let our congresspeople and women know, and we must let Mike Pence know, they stole the election. We know they stole it, and we aren’t going to accept it!”

The main problem is that Shroyer entered the restricted area.

He also has a record of being arrested by the Capitol police back in 2019 for disrupting an impeachment hearing, House Judiciary Committee. The New York Times reported that Shroyer made a Livestream of himself in the packed room shouting.

According to records, following this according, Shroyer got a deferred prosecution and he agreed to do some community service. He also agreed to certain conditions, which include not engaging in disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds.

Reports also say that about 58 others were charged in the U.S. Capitol riot case. USA Today reports that the FBI has charged 575 people and more. The spokeswoman for the FBI office in Dallas, Melinda Urbina said that the FBI arrested 31 people across the state.

Other Texans facing these same charges are already working through the courts. Jenna Ryan, a Frisco real estate broker pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol.

For now, there is a lot more going on behind the scenes, but we will stop here. You can read more on the Dallas observer.
