Homol was first identified as a criminal suspect by the Department of Justice in late 2020, when his younger half-brother, Dillon Homol, was charged with misdemeanors related to the Capitol incursion. He was then called as a witness by the defense, but the FBI pursued him for prosecution instead. This aggressive pursuit was highlighted on social media by the bureau’s Washington office, which bragged about his arrest.
Homol was charged with felony counts of obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding police. He was also charged with several misdemeanor offenses, including knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds.
