Jan. 6 rioter's name and phone number on his jacket lead to his arrest: report

0

An accused Jan. 6 participant made it easy for the feds to make him for breaching the Capitol building by being recorded wearing a jacket with his surname and concrete company phone number emblazoned on it.

Robert Coppotelli, who hails from Toms River, New Jersey faces four misdemeanor counts for unlawfully entering the Capitol through the Senate Wing Door and pacing through the Crypt for about 15 minutes before exiting through a broken window back on Jan. 6, 2021 where barricaded police had setup a front to keep protesters away.

A tipster reached out to authorities naming Coppotelli, 27, as being engaged along with thousands of other Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol in an effort to thwart Congress' certification of the presidential election to President Joe Biden.

"In the photographs, the individual is visible wearing a jacket featuring the text “Coppotelli” and 732-XXX-6050,'" according to the charging documents. The investigator writes in the papers that Coppotelli was found to be a "Heavy Equipment Sales & Services, Inc.” based in Toms River, New Jersey.

"This company’s logo matches the text and artwork shown on the back of the suspect’s jacket."

The company bills itself on social media as performing masonry work.

When reached by the The Philadelphia Inquirer Coppotelli refused to comment.

Coppotelli was arrested and charged in D.C.

Since the attack on the Capitol, more than 1,300 defendants have been charged a host of crimes from entering a restricted area up to seditious conspiracy. About 900 have pleaded guilty or been convicted at trial.

Many of the sentences have involved home detention, probation, and actual prison time.

Trump himself faces charges in connection with the Capitol riot in D.C. as well as Fulton County, Georgia.
