SANTA ANA (CNS) — A Huntington Beach was arrested Thursday on federal charges of participating in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Mark Steven Simon, who is charged with entering restricted buildings or grounds, unlawful activities on Capitol grounds and disorderly conduct, is scheduled to make his initial court appearance Thursday afternoon before a federal judge in Santa Ana.

An FBI agent was tipped to Simon through a post at orangejuiceblog.com, which included video and images of the riot at the Capitol as Congress was certifying the election of President Joe Biden, according to an FBI affidavit dated Jan. 21 detailing the allegations against Simon.

The agent said the video showed Simon using his phone to record a group of rioters pushing their way into the Capitol while a law enforcement official was trying to keep the mob out. At one point in the video, the agent alleged that Simon turned the camera back on himself and exclaimed, "In the Capitol baby, yeah!" and "2021 Donald Trump!" 

The video was initially posted on the Facebook page of someone who was with Simon at the Capitol with the comment "Peacefully Storming the Capital" and with a hashtag of "StopTheSteal," according to the agent, who said the post had been deleted, but surfaced on orangejuiceblog.com.

The agent sent the blog post to Huntington Beach police detectives, who recognized Simon and his friend, who was characterized as a "known activist" in the city, according to the affidavit.
