According to prosecutors, Thomas and Legros drove from Michigan to New York on Dec. 27, 2020, to celebrate the new year, traveling in a grey Chevrolet Equinox that belonged to Legros’ grandmother. On Jan. 5, 2021, they drove to Washington and stayed at a hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, parking the car “on an unknown side street nearby.”
The couple was allegedly among the first group of rioters present at the initial breach of the police line near the Peace Circle, which the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack identified as the location that members of the Proud Boys extremist group had allegedly targeted as a security soft spot.

..."Thomas and Legros then found each other in the Rotunda, where they faced off against police who had used chemical spray to try to disperse the crowd.
“Ya’ll are all going to pay for that,” Thomas is heard saying on police body-worn camera footage. “You’ll see. Love ya. Hope you have a good day!”
Thomas and Legros are then seen leaving the building separately. Legros told federal investigators that her phone died while she and Thomas were separated. They eventually reunited, but the same could not be said of Legros’ grandmother’s Chevy Equinox.
“She attempted to return to where the vehicle was parked only to discover that it was no longer present,” the probable cause affidavit says. “Neither her nor Thomas could find the vehicle, and ultimately the two returned to Michigan on January 10, 2021 on a Greyhound bus.”
Legros has been charged with misdemeanors for trespassing and disorderly conduct that total a potential three years behind bars. Thomas is facing significantly more severe charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress and assaulting, resisting, or impeding an officer using a dangerous weapon, both of which carry a potential sentence of 20 years in prison."
