Christopher Worrell, 49, was arrested after FBI agents executed a search and arrest warrant by 6 a.m. Friday in the 200 block of Stanhope Circle, according to the FBI.

• used or carried a deadly or dangerous weapon in relation to his violations,

• willfully and knowingly uttered loud, threatening or abusive language, or engaged in disorderly conduct at any place in the grounds or in any Capitol Buildings with the intent to impede, disrupt or disturb the session of Congress or either House of Congress.

On Jan. 18, the officer interviewed Worrell and asked if he had participated in the U.S. Capitol riots. The report indicated he was agitated that the FBI was at his house, but admitted that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He denied entering the Capitol building and denied criminal conduct.

He also was agitated when asked about the Proud Boys, stating, "the Proud Boys were not a racist white supremacist group like the media tries to portray."

In some of those photos, Worrell wears what looks to be a Proud Boys patch on his tactical vest, which appears to be the same vest he wore at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the statement of facts states.

Worrell was also identified in multiple images and videos showing the events of Jan. 6, and placing him within the restricted area.

In those images it shows Worrell with a canister clipped to his vest that appears to match paper spray gel and is later seen in a photo spraying a substance from a canister.

In 2009, Worrell was arrested for impersonating an officer after he followed and pulled up to a woman on U.S. 41 East and Guilford Road in East Naples trying to get her to pull over for running a red light, according to his arrest report.

He had a loaded handgun, handcuffs, knives, boxes of ammunition and a fake badge in his possession when deputies arrested him.

Collier County man arrested on Capitol riot charges

It was a startling morning for Elias and other neighbors when FBI investigators barricaded their street to raid a home.

“They were taking duffel bags out,” Elias said.

Law enforcement brought in armed men with helmets and a tanker truck.

“Whole outfits on like military and it was crazy,” Elias said. “There was like six or seven, the big black vehicles that follow like on [the Criminal Minds TV series] … They busted down the front door.”

Neighbors say Worrell lives in the neighborhood with his girlfriend. We reached out to her, but she did not return our calls.

“Very nice, quiet gentleman,” Elias said. “Wouldn’t know anything. Goes to work, comes home.”

“He should be arrested,” Donald McCutcheon said. “You don’t know if he was going to break a window or get in. You don’t know what he’s going to do.”
