SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — With today’s arrest of another Utahn for his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection, it may be difficult for some people to get a clear idea of how many Utah citizens have been investigated in the case.

Various sources show differing lists of defendants, some as few as 12 and others up to 15. In an effort to clear the air, ABC4 has worked to try to compile as accurate a list as possible of those being accused by the federal government in the insurrection.

While a number of Utahns have already pleaded guilty to their charges, some cases are still being litigated. Here’s the latest on what we know.
