The charges include:” Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers,” “Civil Disorder,” “Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds,” “Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building,” “Act of Physical Violence in the Capitol Grounds or Building.”

According to the criminal complaint, over the investigation, footage from various sources including footage from the Washington Monument, and police body cam footage showed Workman and Clark IV at the capitol during the riot.

Investigators also reviewed Workman’s YouTube channel to identify him from footage at the Capitol. In the livestream session on YouTube, court documents say Workman admitted to being at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
