FEDERAL COURT,
Feb 1 – The
January 6
Capitol entry
by Nathan Degrave,
in body armor
and a helmet
he took
off to beat
his chest, gave rise to
a twice
interrupted
detention
proceeding on
February 1 in
Nevada. He was
detained.
Complaint here. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it here:
Magistrate
Judge Daniel
J. Albregts: Nathan
Degrave - is
that Degrahve? No,
Degrave.
AUSA:
Mr. Degrave
was wearing
tactical gear.
He pounded his
check and
lifted off his
helmet. If
someone wants
to protest in
body armor, to
each his own.
But he
assaulted an
officer.
AUSA:
We called
people, one
said, He's not
militant. But
he is. There
is no info
about his
business. He
lost his
passport.
There are no
conditions to
release him.
Degrave's
lawyer: They
have to show a
serious risk
of obstructing
justice.
[Zoom cut off
again]
We're
back; Judge
says he hopes
to finish this
one (Degrave)
before gets
kicked off
Zoon again,
and will
pushing
another one to
tomorrow
(unclear if
that's
#insurrectionBlues
too). Defense
lawyer: I
propose
conditions of
release. The
firearm was on
the night
stand
Defense
lawyer: The
firearm is
legal
registered.
Once that
error is
corrected,
you'll see he
is not
dangerous. Let
me
contextualize.
The first
count could be
a felony or a
misdemeanor
depending on
what is proved
at trial.
Count 2,
violent entry
is a
misdemeanor
Defense
lawyer: Count
3, ok it's a
felony, but
only 5 years.
I'm not trying
to mitigate
the
allegations.
The facts
can't
overshadow the
legal
guidelines. At
page 2 there
is a passive
voice about a
shoving match.
I was admit, I
mean, submit,
there is no
screenshot.
Defense
lawyer: Yes,
he raised his
fist. But he
beat his own
chest. He has
a few shop
lifting
non-prosecutions.
He wouldn't
have been a
leader in
this, he would
have been a
follower. He
doesn't know
this
roommate's
number by
heart. It's
saved in his
smart phone
AUSA
Dickerson:
There's a
firearm in the
house.
Judge Daniel
J. Albregts:
The Court
finds he is a
risk of
non-appearance.
No one could
contact his
roommate. No
confirmation
of employment
or incomes.
There is
expensive
foreign
travel. He's a
danger, too
Judge:
The court
cannot
conceive of
any offense
like storming
the Capitol
with a mob to
overturn a
lawful
election. He
wears body
armor and a
face mask. He
deleted social
media posts
and traveled
back to Las
Vegas. He has
a lack of
respect for
the laws.
Judge:
I will detain
you pending
your
transportation
back to DC to
face these
charges. Would
you like a
preliminary
hearing in
this district?
[Another Zoom
breakdown.]
They're
back.
Degrave's
lawyer says to
set a
preliminary
hearing in
Nevada, they
might later
waive it to
move to DC.
Hearing set
for February
16, at 3 pm
there, 6 pm
Eastern. "By
video." Great.
