Federal prosecutors said a New York man was arrested on several charges this weekend for his role in the deadly riot by a pro-Trump mob at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month and for allegedly discussing killing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Pence.
According to press release from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia, Dominic Spaz Pezzola, 43, was arrested and charged on Friday with unlawful entry, destruction of government property and obstruction of an official proceeding over his alleged criminal activities in the Jan. 6 riot.
An affidavit supporting a criminal complaint against Pezzola alleged that he had gained unlawful entry to the Capitol building by using a U.S. Capitol Police shield to break a window.
After entering the building, Pezzola was allegedly captured on footage smoking a cigar inside, the release states, and saying words to the effect of, Victory smoke in the Capitol, boys. This is f---ing awesome. I knew we could take this mother----er over [if we] just tried hard enough.

Prosecutors have arrested and charged two Proud Boys members on Fridayone of whom allegedly led hordes of angry MAGA supporters into the Capitol and spoke about killing Vice President Mike Pence if given the chance, according to court filings.
The FBI has identified Dominic Pezzola as the Capitol rioter known as Spaz seen breaking into the building with a police shield. According to a criminal complaint, Pezzola encouraged rioters after smashing the glass protecting the west side of the building.
Pezzolas successful shattering of the window was one of the first breaches of the Capitol and allowed other rioters to stream inside and unlock doors for more people to storm the building. A series of open-source photographs also confirm Pezzola was the individual who broke the glass.
