Hunter Allen Ehmke is accused of one count of damaging or destroying government property, one count of obstruction of an official proceeding and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. With the help of Glendora Police, Ehmke was taken into custody at his relative’s home, former Glendora councilman Bob Kuhn, Wednesday, January 13. Ehmke was scheduled for an initial appearance in federal court January 14. He was released on the $40,000 bond and is confined to home detention and electronic home monitoring, according to the DOJ. According to a Statement of Facts released by the DOJ, a Capitol Hill Police officer witnessed Ehmke who stood on a ledge near the Capitol Rotunda steps landing. Ehmke, clad in a dark gray jacket and dark-colored pants, motioned for additional rioters to join him. Ehmke proceeded to strike a 6-foot-tall window pane with his fist. The window leads to an interior office. The Capitol Hill officer ran from fellow officers who were holding back a line of rioters and struck Ehmke with a riot shield twice, eventually causing both Ehmke and the officer to fall to the ground, the Statement said. The window was broken, allegedly by Ehmke. As the fellow officers came to their partner’s assistance and restrained Ehmke, a group of rioters advanced on the officers and reportedly refused to allow them to take their detainee. The officers felt it was best to allow Ehmke to be released at the scene, but not before Taking pictures of Ehmke, the damage window and informing him that they would seek a warrant for his arrest later. His California ID was also confiscated before Ehmke was released back into the crowd. Ehmke is scheduled for an initial appearance in federal court in Washington, D.C.
