Daniel Ball was accused of tossing an explosive device into the entranceway of the Capitol Building during the January 6, 2021, riot.
In May 2023, the FBI charged him with 12 counts, including assaulting or impeding officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon.
According to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice, Ball entered the U.S. Capitol at 3:29 p.m. on January 6, 2021, through the Senate Wing door. They said he pried a broken piece of a wooden shutter from a window in the Senate connecting corridor before exiting the building. They said he joined others on the Lower West Terrace on the “nearly completed inaugural stage.”
