"An Arizona man who was dressed as Captain Moroni — a figure in the Book of Mormon — during the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol has been arrested.
According to an FBI affidavit, Nathan Wayne Entrekin, 48, of Cottonwood, Arizona, “stood out from the crowd due to the outfit he chose to wear … in part because of the temperature, and in part because of the unique nature of the costume.”
He was wearing what appears to be a “plus size Roman gladiator costume” sold online, according to the affidavit. And he is seen carrying a white flag printed with the words, “In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children. Alma 46:12”
The affidavit goes on to explain Captain Moroni and his actions in the Book of Mormon, including that he “and his followers executed anyone who rejected” their fight for liberty “or who refused to accept democracy over tyranny.” And that, years later, they fought against and killed 4,000 dissenters, and the leaders of the opposition who weren’t killed were “cast into prison, for there was no time for their trials.”
Entrekin is seen in online videos explaining his actions. “I am here to represent that, the Mormon element.” And he goes on to suggest that a Utah senator is an “infiltrator.”
