Nathan Wayne Entrekin, a man who web users dubbed "Caesar No Salad," was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot on Thursday. He was charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol ground.
Insider viewed an FBI affidavit on Entrekin filed on July 14, which noted that Entrekin "stood out from the crowd" due to his choice of outfit.
According to the FBI, Entrekin was dressed as Captain Moroni, a Mormon figure who fought to defend the liberties of his people against enemies that tried to subvert democracy and install a king.
Entrekin was also very recognizable because of the gigantic flag he carried, on which was emblazoned a verse from the Book of Mormon that read: "In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children. Alma 46:12."
The FBI noted that Entrekin documented part of his time in the Capitol on phone videos recorded for his mother. In one video, Entrekin said "I'm here, Mom!" and flashed the flag he was carrying on camera.
The FBI also viewed videos that showed Entrekin providing a narration of what he was doing at the Capitol, telling his mother what he was doing and where he was going.
"Are we going up? This is a good workout. Forward, forward, forward," Entrekin was heard saying in the video, per the FBI affidavit."Mom, look, I made it to the top, to the top here. Look at all the patriots here. Haha, if I can make it up that, anybody can."
According to the FBI, the bureau was tipped off about Entrekin on January 11 and found him on February 2 in Cottonwood, Arizona. Entrekin was charged with one count each of knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and for violent entry and disorderly conduct at the Capitol.
Insider also obtained records from 2000 which indicated that Entrekin had previously been charged with two counts of mail fraud, one count of fictitious identity, and one count of criminal copyright infringement. He was ordered to participate in a mental health program in 2002 and was discharged from a three-year probationary period in July 2003.
The authorities have made more than 560 arrests in connection with the Capitol riot thus far. However, more than 300 suspects have not been identified yet, per CBS.
