Alpine man charged with crimes in connection with the January 6 attacks

SALT LAKE CITY – An Alpine man has become the latest Utahn charged with attacking police during the riots in the U.S. capital.

Daniel Van Oak is charged with a total of eight counts of assault.

Prosecutors allege he pushed through a police line and later pulled a baton from an officer.

Federal Bureau of Investigation officials asked for the public’s help in finding the suspect, dubbed #BundleBrawler.

Those tips led to Oaks and photos from his special media showing him in the capital on January 6, 2021, where a video was found of Oaks discussing how he took over.
