Bryan Betancur was one of the hundreds of those arrested for participating in the January 6th violent insurrection at the US Capitol. On probation, Betancur knew his movements were being tracked electronically, so he had asked permission to go to Washington to sell Bibles.

According to Newser, he was charged with entering a restricted building or grounds, unlawful activities on Capitol Grounds, and disorderly conduct. Newser reports federal court documents say Betancur belongs to several white supremacist organizations. Investigators found photos on social media of Betancur in a Proud Boys shirt while displaying a Confederate flag.
