That agreement involved him pleading guilty to one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon or inflicting bodily injury. According to an FBI with the Birmingham field office, video footage recorded at the U.S. Capitol during the riots showed Manley using pepper spray against officers, eventually throwing empty canisters and even a metal rod at them.

Alaska Public Media It’s unclear why Christian Matthew Manley, 26, was in Alaska at the time of his arrest. Manley faces federal charges from the District of Columbia for allegedly assaulting officers, causing civil disorder and entering and engaging in violence in a restricted building, among others. A tipster in July led investigators to Manley, according to an Alabama-based FBI agent’s statement in the charges against him. The charges say agents showed the unnamed person photos of Manley at the Capitol riot — which the FBI had previously posted in its efforts to find and prosecute such rioters — and the person said Manley had in fact shown the person at least one of the same photos himself. The FBI found many more photos of this moron repeatedly deploying bear spray in the direction of cops... Law & Crime Still frames from open source and U.S. Capitol surveillance video show him holding and deploying what appears to be a pepper spray canister in the direction of U.S. Capitol and Metropolitan Police Department officers. Authorities claim to have pinpointed the assault down to the second, embedding a still frame from security footage time-stamped on 2:53 p.m. and 17 seconds. A long line of yellowish spray can be seen emanating from the canister in front of what authorities claim to be the circled image of the defendant. For Manley, the FBI says, one pepper spray canister was not enough. “CCTV footage shows that at approximately 2:54 p.m., Manley had returned to the interior of the archway and was holding what appeared to be another pepper spray canister in his right hand,” their affidavit states. A minute later, Manley threw that canister at authorities after deploying it, the FBI says. That is when authorities say Manley reached for the rod. “At approximately 2:55 p.m., Manley accepted a metal rod from another rioter,” the FBI wrote, adding that in the video the defendant “can be seen bracing himself against the wall and using his body to push a door against officers trying to defend the entrance.” He had planned his trip to DC for a month, but appears to have put very little thought into OPSEC...

A criminal complaint, shared by an FBI officer in Alabama on October 5, said in August officers interviewed a relative of Manley who said he had discussed going to the January 6 rally a month before it took place. FBI agents then reviewed Capitol CCTV footage as well as publicly shared videos that showed what happened during the riot.
