UPDATE Texas veteran with zip ties at U.S. Capitol attack, makes first court appearance
FORT WORTH, Texas - A North Texas man charged with participating the U.S. Capitol riot made his first appearance in court on Monday.
Larry Brock is one of dozens of suspects the FBI identified from video and images taken inside the Capitol. Images from the riot show Brock inside the U.S. Senate chamber with white flex cuffs.
Cameras weren't allowed inside the federal courthouse in Fort Worth. The Monday hearing lasted just five minutes and Brock was escorted into the courtroom by two U.S Marshals.
A judge determined Brock qualified for a court-appointed defense attorney. Brock was then ordered held in the custody of the U.S. Marshals until his probable cause and detention hearing scheduled for Thursday.
A mug shot, released by the grapevine police department shortly afterward Monday’s appearance, shows how brock looked at the time of the brief hearing. His hands were cuffed in front of his black t-shirt and his legs shackled around his jeans.
The retired lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserves was identified by his ex-wife as the man photographed -- and captured on surveillance video wearing combat gear and items to potentially detain and arrest people on the senate floor during the January 6 Capitol riot.
The arrest affidavit quoted Brock's ex-wife, who reportedly called the FBI National Threat Operations Center. She said, in part, "I just know that when I saw this was happening I was afraid he would be there... It is such a good picture of him and I recognize his patch."
"There's a wealth of potential criminal offenses in addition to the 2 that they charged that would be available.
Richard Roper is a former U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Texas not associated with the case and said video evidence will be key in prosecuting.
"It nails down the identity of the perpetrator," Roper said.
According to the affidavit, filed in the District of Columbia, Brock is charged with one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Both are federal charges.
"There's two charges, essentially a criminal trespass charge being in a place you’re not authorized to be," Roper said. "Both of those charges, interestingly, are misdemeanor charges -- meaning punishment range would be less than one year in prison unless someone carries a dangerous weapon."
Brock's defense attorney did not have any comment. But he did say after Thursday's hearing, the case will be turned over to the courts in D.C. since that is where the alleged crimes took place.

Lesson learned: Treat your wives well, ex or otherwise!
He should lose all retirement and sent to prison. To me as a 22 year veteran. He is a total disgrace.
WOW !! SO MUCH FOR MARRIAGE
Jajaja...
No pardons for these fools. 😂☮️🇺🇸
High Treason.
It’s kind of ironic isn’t it? All of Trumps followers refusing to wear their masks when in public. I wonder how many of these people would have been arrested if they had worn a mask? It certainly would be more difficult to identify someone if they did
IT WAS NOT A RIOT! THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO OVERTHROW THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT! INSURRECTION! Oh wait, Fox News.
There are thousands of children locked up and serving more time for a lot less than trying to overthrow the government we seem to be lacking when it comes to justice
He can’t afford his own attorney? I call BS!
They too old to be acting like that,disturbing.
KARMA!!
Oh, they are flex cuff. But I go to the hardware store they call them zip ties.
Mister Clean.
Lock them up.
1:50 These morons macing their own front lines...
It is ironic that we are paying for his defense. Why ironic? Because the constitution they tried to subvert is what is allowing them to have appropriate representation in court. Gotta love our Constitution, those framers were of a much higher mind than any common man past or present.
Ex wife no wonder... a biden lover
Flex cuffs= kidnapping
This guy had money for plane ticket, but no money for lawyer. Please
Good job, Donald Jailbait Trump!
Traitor!!! He should be stripped of his Veteran benefits and charged with treason.
Man it was a lot of people from Texas there. Texas is a red state and really push state's rights. I didn't know they were affected that much by who is president.
Big toe w a face -credit not mine
Air Force flyboy figures
Guess him and his ex didn't part on the best of terms 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 cause he got ratted the HELL out! 😂😂😂😂
When bringing down the government doesn't work he'll have them pay for his lawyer. Seems to me that's the one time you shouldn't have a court appointed free lawyer.
What happens when you are an incel.
alleged crime? he was caught on video i would say that qualifies as a crime! not an alleged crime.
That is sickening, a former officer betrayed his Oath, that Oath once given is for life. He should get what is possible to give him. Betraying the Constitution he swore to protect.
Ex-wife served him a cold dish.....
How stupid can u get.......being in the military, u pledge an oath to the constitution!!! No excuse, an officer no less.....prison term is coming!!
New videos says he was directing other insurgents
THEY WERE TOLD THEY COULD GO INSUDE, AND DID NO WRONG THEY WERE GIVEN ALLOWANCE BY AUTHORITIES!!!!! HIS TIME IN THE SKAMMER MEANS YOU ALL BETTER LOVE GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE FOR NOT TRYING TO DO YOUR JOB AND TRULY DE FD ENDING THIS INCREDIBLE MAN!!!!
Stay AWESOME Col.!!!!
Let ALL THE PATRIOTS GO!!!!!! They had no idea they were being lured in by the alt left!!!
Egghead, lol!!!!!
Errrrm, Ross Kemp?!? Lol
Shame on him and no COVID-19 for him
Does he look trustworthy to you
Love it.Please Please get everyone's that was there ASAP.THANK YOU.
Put all the jerk offs in jail with all the jerk off trumps
All these ex's waiting for this very moment lol
These so-called “Patriotic Americans” are always yelling out “I served this country, I’m a hard working American, I pay my taxes” and think it’s an excuse to commit terrorists acts. Glad they are all being prosecuted.
@thor… .Respect the need for more evidence option , but The time to calm people down should of been before entering violently. Peaceful protest isnot ‘breaking in “ that goes for all Americans Regardless color of skin Or political ideology
Embarrassing every Veteran who has ever served !
I feel like weapons in the capitol building should be a separate federal felony
"Texas veteran." You mispronounced traitor.
TrumPutin the disease is gone but not the virus pandemic right wing Fox propaganda actual fake news ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE MEDIA types - 🇺🇸 needs to now focus on the VIRUS and work in unison2ERADICATE IT COMPLETELY
As a veteran who SWORE AND OATH to uphold and defend the constitution against ALL enemies foreign and domestic, he should have known better, and he deserves the absolute maximum penalty applicable for what hes done, lock him up.
Lock them up! Lock them up! Lock them up!
SO......I MUST FIRST & FOREMOST ASK THE JUDGE...DOES IT LOOK LIKE A DUCK 🦆 ??? ! DOES IT WALK LIKE A DUCK 🦆???!

Hell hath no fury like an ex-wife scorned. 😂😁😭😗
Thank you "ex-wife" ! you did the right thing!
That's the kind of human trash that makes the human kind look that all are like them, he deservs to go to jail for the rest of his life, lets be clrear, there are two kinds of humans. SUB HUMANS HUMANS. THE FIRST DOES NOT BELONG ON THE LOVING AND KIND OF THE HUMAN SIDE. Lets put this kind in cages so no more hate can he spread.
he was hoping his boss, trump, will pardon him before being booted from the WH.
I know! Ha Ha Ha Hee ha ha ha!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have felt anger for 4 years, but I have never thought of charging the Capitol to harm anyone. These terrorists are as unhinged as Trump and you can't talk them down from acting on their emotions.
Now after a few days of Pres potato-head, most of us Americans feel this guy was on the right side of history. Disgusting theft of an election thru corruption.
This is the weirdest incident I've ever witnessed. I mean who records themselves actually and knowingly committing a crime? They were proud posting videos....with them breaking the law while and laughing/smiling like they were at a BBQ or something.
...A RAMBO 'RAVE' !!!!!!!!
Always the Ex Wife! women bringing the men down
Taking part in a coup should have much harder charges!
I used to work in a place that worked along with the FBI and such. We had meetings with them every once in awhile and one thing they said really stuck with me. They said that a lot of their information comes from ex wives, girlfriends and such. LOL
I believe Texas has the most terrorists that went to Washington of all the states
Arrest, arrest, arrest where the FBI arrest the crime drug cartell biden
I think he should get serious punishment he went in to due harm to some. Things could have been much worse.
Is anyone going to be charged for the death of the officer at the Capitol?
It’s the “it’s such a good picture of him” part of the quote for me😂😂😂.
Yes, all of you "freedom fighters" please post your videos, You are amazing. You will be famous. Everyone want's to know who you are and what you have done for your country.
Dr. Egghead anyone? 😂.. minimize IT why don't you
How come all trump supporters have the same shape?thick
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A note for my right-leaning family and friends from my left-leaning self as we all head down the road to the election: They say we want to disband police departments (and that we hate the police): we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out racism and unnecessary police brutality and for those who abuse their power to be held accountable. They say we want to release all prisoners: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out racism and ensure the punishments match the crimes and to deprivatize prisons. They say we want open borders: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want asylum seekers to be given their chance to seek asylum. We want to help people who are coming from unimaginable terror and poverty, to help to give them the chance we have. We want to ensure children aren’t separated from their parents and that nobody is kept in cages. But we do want proper vetting. They say we want to take away your guns: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want logical gun control to help prevent mass shootings. They say we want to wage a war on Christianity and Christian values: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want people of all religions to be able to practice and worship freely. Some of us love Jesus too. They say we want to get everything for free, or that we think handouts are okay: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to work hard and make sure that healthcare and education are affordable for ALL. They say we want a war against traditional marriage: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want all people to be able to love freely, no matter who you love. They say we want to destroy or rewrite history: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to recognize the ugly parts of our past and do everything we can to say “that’s not okay, let’s not honor those aggressors, let’s not let those things happen again.” They say we want to take away your constitutional rights: we don’t, that’s a lie. We choose to believe science and wear masks and try to prevent the spread of this disease. They say we hate America: we don’t, that’s a lie. We just recognize our faults and want us to do better, be better. Stop with the us vs. them. Our position is one of empathy, compassion, and logic. Please stop believing the hype. Stop with the division. Stop with the generalizations. Just because we want equality for all doesn’t mean we want to take anything away from you. Copied/pasted from a friend because it’s true... @_timtuttle
WOW! VERY WELL SAID!!!👍👍👍
Why do so many of the seditious crowd come from Texas?
I cannot believe he got bail had he been Brown 🤎 he would not have gotten nothing this ridiculous AG Racine bring him back to DC and charge him to the fullest extent of the LAW NOW immediately
It’s a damn shame because this person seems like a good person , but he was incited by an idiot. He shouldn’t have been there and should be convicted so it goes on his record.
treason charge should be there
Deserves a medal
Fox sucks, fake news
I want these people to serve time. No house arrest ankle monitor bs, no country club prisons. General population at Leaven worth even if it's for 90 days. Jail for the Insurrectionist.
Lost twin of Jörg from the slingshot channel xD
Good luck explaining the zip ties ! There should be a separate charge for what ever he was planning on doing with the Zip ties !
......intent to: kidanap, maim, torture, kill ???
Respect the flag and the vets and dont kneel lol
Why is it being called a riot? It was a coup attempt

Ex-wife’s are evil. Ask any man who is divorced.
Country over Party always 😎
Yeah those initial charges are to hold him. There will be more undoubtedly.

He is a traitor to our country and disrespectful 2 an Armed Forces uniform. That makes it even worse. I do not have disrespect for our military ever but if you are past or present military and intentionally was at the Capitol hoping with the riot in any capacity than you are a traitor and a disgrace and need to take that uniform off.
Traitors. An uprising against the democracy of the United States of America. If these "white causation" people are FREED, then it shows that there ARE 2 sets of laws and justice .. WEALTHY vs POOR....
Stupid dope fell for obvious lies.
Hope you like prison. Goes to show you how much trump cares about you. He threw you and all others under the bus.
Will he lose his pension? I hope so
the ex-wives will always have the last word... hehe
American people dont want Communism, they dont want new World Order Globalists Biden!
The thumb got fingered.
Maybe Trump will pardon him.... never mind
Damn
How is NO ONE receiving "Conspiracy to Commit Murder" "Entering with Intent to cause Great Bodily Harm" etc etc! Theyare all getting "White Collar Trespassing" charges!!!!
