In a document filed in federal court, an FBI agent summarized Karla and Dustin Adams’ alleged activities on Jan. 6, saying the agency started investigating the pair after getting a tip. The document included images of the Jan. 6 riot from Karla’s Facebook page that the FBI obtained by a search warrant.

According to the document, FBI agents separately interviewed three witnesses who identified Karla and Dustin Adams as the people in the photo.

Law enforcement also reviewed open-source footage and closed-circuit television footage from inside the U.S. Capitol from Jan. 6 and identified who they say were Karla and Dustin Adams.

Hundreds of people have been charged in connection to the riot, including several from Michigan. Earlier this month, a Michigan native and active-duty Marine was sentenced to probation and community service for his role.
