HuffPost
Robert Scott Palmer, known to online sleuths as #FloridaFlagJacket, lawyered up and contacted the FBI after getting a call from HuffPost.
Robert Scott Palmer, a Florida man who attacked cops with a fire extinguisher during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 and was identified by online sleuths, pleaded guilty to a felony on Monday and was ordered incarcerated until sentencing.
Palmer ― who was wearing a “Florida For Trump” hat and an American flag sweatshirt emblazoned with Donald Trump’s name on Jan. 6 ― pleaded guilty to count three of his indictment, a felony charge of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon, inflicting bodily injury. Palmer was arrested in March, 12 days after HuffPost named him in a story.
Online sleuths working under the moniker #SeditionHunters identified Palmer as the man who used a fire extinguisher to assault officers in a tunnel on the western side of the Capitol. Dozens and dozens of other Capitol rioters have been positively identified by online sleuths but have not yet been arrested by the FBI.
