A Capitol riot suspect was discovered hiding with his wife and children in an unheated trailer deep in the Nevada mountains, KOLO reported .
US attorneys with the Department of Justice had charged Josiah Kenyon, 34, with unlawfully entering the Capitol and with assaulting a police officer on January 6, the department said last Friday.
According to the FBI , Kenyon assaulted several officers with "a table leg with a protruding nail" and threw a "large, hard plastic pylon" at others.
Kenyon's whereabouts were unknown to law enforcement until December 1 when, during a homelessness drive, deputies with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office found a woman and two children living in an unheated trailer at the base of Peavine Peak, near Lake Tahoe, KOLO reported . The outlet did not specify the children's ages.
As deputies interviewed her, a man in a camouflaged Ford Sedan arrived and told deputies the family would be leaving the premises, KOLO reported. Deputies ran the plates, and found they were registered to Josiah Kenyon, KOLO reported.

Kenyon and his wife, Elizabeth, were then both arrested on charges of child endangerment, KOLO said.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Department of Justice did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Temperatures near Peavine Peak can drop well below freezing in December, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data shows.
During the search of Kenyon's car, deputies found an AR-15 rifle and a Glock handgun, KOLO reported.
The FBI said that on January 6, Kenyon wore a red "Make America Great Againa" cap and was dressed as "Jack Skellington" from the movie " The Nightmare Before Christmas ."
Kenyon also helped smash an exterior window of the Capitol and then spent a total of 25 minutes inside the building, the FBI said.
As of Monday, 719 people have been charged in relation to the Capitol insurrection.

One of whatshisnames' domestic terrorist mob.
Another fine family of conservatives and their values.
Thank you, Biden FBI! When international drug and human trafficking rings are destroying hundreds of thousands of lives a year, you work tirelessly to lock up the goofy bollard guy!
So...criminals shouldn't be prosecuted?
The law should apply to everyone.
Doesn't sound like you want this guy to be prosecuted
I want everyone subject to the law, That includes last year's rioters.
What I find interesting is that seemingly intelligent people think the greatest democracy in the world, and the strongest state in the history of mankind was in danger because of guys like these.... LOL

Well this is America my friend, and they have hold of the handle at this point, but I strongly suspect that the next republican president will pardon the lot over this blatantly political lynch job... I mean they made damned sure one of most rabidly anti-trump haters is presiding over the cases...
More simple plain evidence of how out of touch with most of American values they truly are...
That will take guts. There are a few that come to mind.
trumpturd is not bringing us his best.
Sorry Vic, but I think an attempted insurrection rates an examination on a national level. After all you don't want liberals to "seize" control of the government do you. You would be appalled and calling for LE/military intervention had "liberals" stormed the Congress to stop election certification.
Ahh, but they have!
LOL, I'm crying crocodile tears for this POS...Doing some hard time just might snap him back to reality, but I doubt it.
So we've seized control of the government with a free and fair election. Go figure!
