Navy Veteran Arrested for Crashing SUV into FBI Office, Linked to QAnon and Trump Support

The suspect's extensive online activity revealed a history of promoting conspiracy theories and expressing admiration for the former president.

Ervin Lee Bolling, a former U.S. Navy veteran, was arrested for crashing his SUV into the FBI office in Atlanta, with his social media history revealing support for QAnon and former President Donald Trump.
Research by Advance Democracy uncovered Bolling's extensive online activity promoting conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election and COVID-19, including posts expressing admiration for Trump.
Bolling's suspected accounts on platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) showed a pattern of far-right views, including anti-vaccine sentiments and calls for joining a militia.
The attack on the FBI office is part of a broader trend of violent actions by individuals espousing anti-government rhetoric and conspiracy theories, often echoing Trump's statements.
More than 1,265 defendants have been charged in connection to the January 6 Capitol riot, with Trump himself facing charges related to his actions regarding the 2020 election results.
