Michael LOPATIC, Russell PETERSON and Adam HONEYCUTT

If your day job is a “bail bonds man” and you still post to Facebook evidence of your criminal acts, reconsider your life choices. Also the Michael LOPATIC case has not been wide reported & it’s BAD

Michael John Lopatic aka Huntering-Insurrectionist

DDC Case No 1:21-cr-00035 (filed 1/29/21, unsealed 2/12/21 at 6:09PM)
To be somewhat of a drama-llama I believe this is a pretty important case, here’s why, in the Government’s Motion/Memo for Detention. Moreover this case in currently not listed in the DOJ-Capitol Database

January 29, 2021 a Grand Jury empaneled and sitting in the District of Columbia returned an indictment. Lopatic was arrested on February 5, 2021 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Also your obligatory trigger warning, the Government’s Motion on Detention included really disturbing facts and of the recent criminal cases, this case by far the most detailed and the brutality our Law Enforcement

attacked one police officer, punching him repeatedly, and then stole the body worn camera of another police officer and disposed of it, destroying what would have undoubtedly been a crucial piece of evidence.

Between the hours of 4PM-5PM of January 6th, Metropolitan Police Officer, C.M. was posted outside an archway of the Capitol. C.M. witnessed a group of Trump’s Insurrectionist grab another MPD Officer, B.M. This violent mob proceeded to drag Officer B.M. down the stairs and was soon engulfed by the violent mob and viciously assaulted.

Officer C.M. attempted to intervene and bring Officer B.M. to safety but was stopped by an insurrectionist wearing clothing with the emblem of the “Three Percenters,” - then out of nowhere Defendant Michael John Lopatic, emerged from the crowd, climbed over a handrail, and charged at C.M. -all of which was captured by Officer C.M.’s body cam.

After viciously assaulting Officer C.M. (the defendant repeatedly struck the officer in the head), to be fair some of those present, did in fact put a human shield in place to protect Officer B.M. from other Insurrectionist who wanted to beat this police officer. The defendant then climbed his way through the human shield protecting Officer B.M. and stole the body camera from the officer. This is important because the Defendant had the presence of mind to go for the body cam which undoubtedly contained evidence that Law Enforcement would use to identify the assailants.

Rather, the defendant was there to fight, and he had no intention of being held accountable for his actions. Consistent with that, upon his arrest, the defendant admitted to agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation that he stole B.M.’s body camera and that he disposed of it on his way home to Lancaster County.

Investigators also discovered that Defendant Lopatic made several social media post. For example on November 4, 2020 Lopatic posted a “call to arms” and then the following (full disclosure I altered the picture to cover up the blood) -

Prosectors also allege that Defendant Lopatic had a history of posting on social media. Where he both implicitly and explicitly stated his intentions.

defendant posted more hunting photographs, accompanied by captions in which he appeared to name the dead birds after Democratic congressional leaders, including then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, and Representatives Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, both of whom acted as Impeachment managers during the Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.

Prosecutors provided a convincing case as to why they want Defendant LOPATIC’s detained pending trial. Citing Lopatic’s history of posting on social media, expressing his desire to do harm to government officials. A factor weighing in favor of detention is Defendant LOPATIC’s and most importantly the defendant’s had already assaulted law enforcement officers, and that he acted “violently” when others tried to stop his assault. access to firearms, and that he has shown that he will not hesitate to act violently toward those who try to stop him. The Prosectors stated “the defendant unquestionably poses a danger to the community. He should therefore be detained pending trial”

• Criminal Complaint ECF/PACER from my Public Drive

  • Affidavit ECF/PACER or from my Public Drive or via DOJ-OPA

  • Conditions of Release ECF/PACER or via my Public Drive

  • Unsecured Bond Entered as to RUSSELL JAMES PETERSON in amount of $10,000.00 ECF/PACER or via my public drive

Charges: Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly Conduct Which Impedes the Conduct of Government Business; Disruptive Conduct in the Capitol Buildings; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in the Capitol Buildings

On January 11, 2021 Investigators obtained a search warrant for Facebook User ID 100003189713086. That Facebook User ID, belongs to Defendant Russell. Evidence that law enforcement obtained indeed confirmed that Defendant Russell live streamed on January 6, 2021 (on at least two separate occasions) from inside the Capitol. Thereafter the Affiant identified that the location of one (of two) live streams, (video ID ending in 3018 ) was streaming from the Crypt area of the U.S. Capitol.

A family that participates in an Insurrections together, I guess stays together. Prosecutors allege that Russell Peterson, his wife Elizabeth and his mother Shelly travel to Washington DC on January 6th. On January 20, 2021 a Witness (W-1) contacted the FBI. W-1 told FBI agents that he/she was an “old friend of Shelly Peterson” and that W-1 saw various Facebook post, specifically Shelly Peterson’s Facebook post humble bragging that her son, Russell: “stormed the U.S. Capitol building and ‘sat in Pelosi’s chair.’” Neither Russell’s wife, Elizabeth nor his mother Shelly have been arrested - whereas Russell was charged with four crimes.

Adam Avery HONEYCUTT aka bail bond-Insurrectionist

Case Number: 1:21-mj-216

Charge(s): Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority; Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct on Capitol Grounds

Status: Honeycutt was taken into Federal Custody in the Middle District of Florida on February 11, 2021. He appeared before Magistrate Judge Monte C. Richardson.
Affidavit & Complaint via DOJ-OPA USAO-DC

Not one but two confidential sources of information (CSI) contacted the FBI and provided Agents with videos and pictures that Defendant Honeycutt posted to his Facebook account. And each CSI provided the FBI with the same Facebook User ID

Defendant Honeycutt’s Facebook Account was wide open. Based on the information provided by CSI-1 and CSI-2, the FBI document the contents of his timeline on January 8, 2021, and on January 16, 2021.

As detailed by the Affiant, CSI-1 informed the FBI of Honeycutt’s Bail Bonds Company and Defendant Honeycutt occasionally goes by the nickname of “Bundy” his Bail Bonds Facebook page can be found here, and it’s unclear why his Company’s Facebook page wasn’t archived, so I decided to archive it, which you can find here

One of the worst things a target can do is destroy or delete evidence. Thus far of the nearly 216 Criminal US Capitol matters my rough estimate is at least 33 of the defendants have either deleted their social media accounts or attempted to trick Law Enforcement by replacing photos of persons who are not the target. For example on page 10 of the Honeycutt Affidavit…

And yes consciousness of guilt is actually a real thing and it’s especially problematic when the FBI is actively investigating you for you as a target attempt to down play or explain your criminal behavior

Order of Temporary Detention via ECF/PACER

Honeycutt - Detention Hearing set for 2/16/2021 at 11:00 AM in Jacksonville Courtroom 5 C before Magistrate Judge Monte C. Richardson
I went ahead and pulled his records -there are nearly fifty cases but again the vast majority are traffic infractions

And for now - I think you’re caught up - I am taking a self-care break so it’s unlikely I’ll be blogging or uploading documents because I promised my family I’d unplug for a while. Apparently I’m becoming increasingly snappy and that’s usually a sign that I need to unplug. - Filey
