Roberto Minuta, 36, owner of Casa Di Dolore Tattoo Parlor located at 784 Broadway in the City of Newburgh, was arrested on Monday for his alleged involvement in the January 6 U.S. Capitol riots.

Minuta has been in the news since an image circulated of him wearing “military-style attire and gear,” which included a crest related to the Oath Keepers Militia, during the insurrection. A week following his participation in the riot, he deleted his Facebook account “to conceal his involvement in these offenses.”

However, the publicly-available videos and photos that he is identified in, in addition to tracking travels of a car registered in his name on January 6 and text messages with his associated phone number, have ultimately led to his arrest.

According to the complaint, Minuta “attempted to, and did, obstruct the United States Congress’s affirmation of the Electoral College vote regarding the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, and that he committed other related federal crimes.”

It states that he not only “corruptly obstructed, influenced, and impeded an official proceeding,” but he entered and remained in restricted building and grounds without lawful authority with intent to disrupt the conduct of business and altered, destroyed, mutilated or concealed documents with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for sue in an official proceeding.

Minuta was also spotted by ABC News providing security for Trump adviser Roger Stone.

While Minuta resides in Hackettstown, New Jersey, he has been receiving backlash for his participation in the riots here in Newburgh at his tattoo shop. Over the past week leading up to his arrest, it has been vandalized with broken windows and spray paint. The storefront windows have been shattered and the exterior wall was painted with “PB scum,“f**k off, and “ANTIFA scum.” On the front glass, the spray-paint read “Antifa did this.” The PB abbreviation stands for “Proud Boys,” a right-wing extremist, white supremacy group.

Earlier this year, Minuta reopened his shop before state restrictions were lifted during early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The complaint referenced a May 24, 2020 rally Minuta held at the tattoo shop, opening it for business in defiance of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s exective order.

When contacted at his shop last week, Minuta declined to comment, but last May he told reporters his defiance of state regulations was “a message of freedom.”

“I am standing here as an American citizen to defend those rights, and I will do it until the death,” declared Minuta.

At the rally, Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, spoke in support of Minuta. The Oath Keepers are a conservative group that is often touted by the media as a far right extremist group. Rhodes came all the way from Texas.

“We’re behind him 100 percent, and we’re behind him no matter what,” said Rhodes at the time. “It’s critical.” Rhodes asked to be the first customer of the day, and got a “we the people” tattoo.

Minuta was ordered released on a $125,000 bond over the objections of federal prosecutors, along with having to surrender firearms by the close of business Tuesday and restricted travel to only parts of New York state and Texas (from where where he recently moved) and Washington, D.C. only for his court proceedings. He also has to give up his passport and other travel documents.

His preliminary hearing/conference for Minuta is scheduled for March 17.
