Former Midland County jailer charged for participating in Capitol riots

Cory Ray Brannan, a former jailer with the Midland County Sheriff’s Office, was arrested and charged Tuesday for allegedly attending and participating in riots at the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, according to court documents.

Brannan was photographed outside the Capitol with other rioters, according to an arrest affidavit that was unsealed on Thursday. He’s seen in the photo wearing a “Trump 2020” hat, camouflage clothing and a tactical vest with a “III%” patch. The Three Percenters are an extremist far-right militia movement.

Other photos show Brannan inside the Capitol building, according to the affidavit. He’s allegedly seen in security footage entering the Capitol by climbing through a window. The affidavit states that the footage shows him walking around the building for several minutes before exiting through the Senate Wing Door.

FBI investigators spoke with MCSO Captain Adam Hilliard on Aug. 12, according to the affidavit. Hilliard allegedly identified Brannan in multiple photos inside and outside the Capitol.

And as we are constantly told, a knife (stabbing scissors) are as lethal as guns so guns can't be restricted.

Just another tourist. One of the millions each year who come to the capitol and enter through smashed windows for a tour.

Fuck them all, lock them up.
