A New York man who filmed himself boasting, “We’ve done it! We are here!” as he entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was arrested when FBI agents linked his militia chat group screen name “Chris Patriot” from the cellphone of another rioter facing charges, authorities said.

Christopher Douglas Finney, 32, is charged with obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office news release.

He also faces several misdemeanor offenses that include knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

According to court documents, Finney traveled from his home in Hopewell Junction to Washington, D.C., for the “Stop the Steal” rally, where rioters subsequently disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election win.
