#SeditionHunters - a long-awaited arrest today for assault on the press on Jan 6. Rod Milstreed, #UnderArmorDarkShades, tied to the Proud Boys, was one of the first to attack AP photographer John Minchillo. He's in camo at 0:08 in this video (from AP). 1/
Court docs for Milstreed were filed in Denver, though he's from Maryland - as reported by @jeremyjojola and @MacFarlaneNews. Will post updates when docs are public. 2/
Of Minchillo's attackers, 3 have now been arrested (#UnderArmorDarkShades, #CamoCrazyEyes, and #GreyBeanieMeanie). #GreenBandanaMan is still at large. And the folks who helped Minchillo ... also deserve arrest. See thread. 3/
NEW: Alan Byerly has stipulated to pretrial detention. He’s not fighting it.
Judge tells Alan Byerly he can challenge his detention down the line. He’ll likely be transported to D.C. soon. #greybeaniemeanie
Government plans to engage in plea negotiations before the indictment comes down.
(Standard reminder that a plea agreement doesn’t necessarily mean a lax punishment. Most cases are settled with a plea agreement, it’s the details that matter.)

#SeditionHunters - the FBI prosecution of assault on media has reached one of the nastiest: Alan Byerly of PA aka #GreyBeanieMeanie, who viciously attacked AP photographer John Minchillo. He's the one in the grey beanie...PA journalists, do your thing! 1/

His PA affiliation wasn't hard to find; his beanie says "Kutztown". The attack was shocking for his visible rage, also Minchillo was pushed over a wall & could have been seriously hurt. (Btw don't credit those who helped Minchillo; they may be org. folks trying to de-escalate) 2/ 
The video crucial to Byerly's arrest was shot by his AP colleague Julio Cortez (julythephotoguy) from helmet-mounted cam. So reporting itself defends reporters! As in the #MediaSmash, the mob called any journalist "CNN".. 3/
