A Georgia man who prosecutors say made his trip to breach the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 a family affair, has been arrested along with his two adult sons. William Gallagher, 55, James Gallagher, 22, and Thomas Gallagher, 25, were arrested roughly two hours north of Atlanta in rural Ellijay, Georgia, on Monday.
The FBI said William Gallagher “spontaneously” greeted agents when he opened his door this week, telling them: “I’ve been waiting for you guys.” The arrest seemed to be a long time in the making for the FBI. According to a statement of facts, an agent first attempted to interview William Gallagher just a few weeks after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, meeting him at his doorstep in Georgia on Jan. 26, 2021.
But Gallagher shut that conversation down after asking for an attorney. The FBI wouldn’t see him again until three years later on March 27, 2024, after an employee of the gated resort community where the Gallaghers live in Ellijay confirmed that he saw William Gallagher “regularly” and was able to positively identify him to an inquiring agent.
That was “Tommy and James’ dad,” the employee said, and then identified the sons who now had shorter haircuts than they did on Jan. 6.
