Georgians Involved With Capitol Riot Arrested After Identified

GEORGIA — Multiple Georgians have been arrested and charged for various offenses after they were involved with the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

The latest men to be identified were William McCall Calhoun, 57, of Americus, and Michael Shane Daughtry, 58, of Pelham. Both are charged with entering a restricted building or grounds. Calhoun was also charged with violent entry or disorderly conduct, and tampering with a witness, victim or informant. Both will appear in federal court in Macon.

According to an affidavit obtained by WSB-TV, Calhoun went to D.C. and, “knowingly and willfully joined and encouraged a crowd of individuals who forcibly entered the U.S. Capitol and impeded, disrupted, and disturbed the orderly conduct of business by the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate.”

Calhoun posted a video and photo of himself inside the Capitol Building on Facebook on Jan. 6. WSB-TV reports he captioned the photo from inside the Capitol Rotunda with, “Today the American People proved that we have the power. We physically took control of the Capitol Building in a hand to hand hostile takeover. We occupied the Capitol and shut down the Government – we shut down their stolen election shenanigans.”

Calhoun is in custody, and is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing in Macon this week, WSB-TV reports.

The FBI was notified of Daughtry posting similar photos on his Facebook page, after a Pelham police officer sent screenshots from Jan. 6 where Daughtry wrote, "We just tore down the fence and stormed the Capital. They're throwing flash bangs at us now...pepper spray everywhere."

He posted a second time with a photo of the Capitol and captioned it, "Look how close we got to the front. I look like security so just push our way to the very very front."

Daughtry was released on bond but has internet restrictions and his firearms being held by the U.S. Marshals, WSB-TV reports.

The man nicknamed online as "zip-tie man" and his mother have both been arrested for their connection to the U.S. Capitol riot.

That man is Eric Munchel, 30, who lives in Nashville but once lived in DeKalb and Fulton counties, WSB-TV reported, and his mother is Lisa Marie Eisenhart, 57.

"Eisenhart showed a Georgia driver’s license when getting the pair a hotel room in Washington, D.C.," the TV station reported. "Video surveillance showed both Eisenhart and Muchel on the Senate floor after the U.S. Capitol was breached."

Munchel was charged with one count of knowingly entering a restricted building and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct, The Washington Post reported. He has also been charged with conspiracy and civil disorder.

Eisenhart will face the same four charges, according to FBI documents, WSB-TV reported.

She was taken into custody by FBI agents in Nashville on Jan. 16 on charges relating to the U.S. Capitol riots. Charges include conspiring with her son to violate federal statutes, the U.S. Attorney-Middle District of Tennessee said on Twitter.

According to court documents, “as the Congress was engaged in the official business of certifying the electoral college vote, Eisenhart and Munchel knowingly and willfully joined a mob of individuals to forcibly enter the U.S. Capitol with the intent to cause a civil disturbance designed to impede, disrupt, and disturb the orderly conduct of business by the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate."

WSB-TV reported that federal charging documents said that Munchel and Eisenhart shared a P.O. box in Blue Ridge.

An Alpharetta man died, police said, just a few days after returning from participating in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner said Jan. 12 that Christopher Stanton Georgia, 53, of Alpharetta died on Jan. 9 due to suicide.

Documents from the Superior Court of DC alleged Georgia was charged with attempting to enter the U.S. Capitol Grounds, "against the will of the United States Capitol Police." He was also charged with violating the District-wide 6 p.m. curfew.
