ORLANDO, Fla. – FBI agents arrested a Umatilla man on Wednesday and charged him with attacking two police officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Investigators claimed Homol planned the trip to Washington with his half-brother Dillon Homol, and both were seen on body worn camera footage at several different locations after the crowd advanced passed police.
At one point, David Homol was seen assaulting police officers.
“Homol’s assaults on police officers are visible on BWC footage from that area and time, wherein Homol can be seen raising his flagpole and striking two different officers,” his statement of facts reads. “First Homol struck the back of an officer wearing a gray bicycle helmet. Moments later, an officer wearing a black MPD helmet approached, and Homol struck the officer’s side.”
Homol’s half-brother Dillon was convicted of three charges last year for his involvement.
He is scheduled to be sentenced next week, and prosecutors are asking he be sentenced to two years in prison.
