Thomas Paul Conover, 53, is facing misdemeanor charges for allegedly storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 with beer can in hand.


A Keller’s man’s boasting on Facebook about his romp inside the U.S. Capitol with beer can in hand during the January siege led to his arrest on Wednesday, authorities said.

Thomas Paul Conover, 53, was released the same day on misdemeanor charges following a Fort Worth court appearance. He is the 20th North Texas resident to be charged in connection with the Jan. 6 uprising.

The FBI says he flew from Dallas to Washington D.C. and was among the mob that forced its way into the Capitol building. He documented his activities that day in Facebook photos and videos, federal authorities said.

“After leaving the Capitol, Conover continued taking selfies and posing for photos with his empty beer can,” an FBI agent said in a complaint.

In one video he recorded, Conover said, “I don’t always storm the Capitol of the United States of America, but when I do, I prefer Coors Light,” court records show.
