EX-MILITARY MEMBER CHARGED WITH CRASHING INTO FBI OFFICE HAD ONLINE LINKS TO QANON, REPORT SAYS
Description
WASHINGTON — The ex-military member who federal authorities say drove his SUV into a barricade at the FBI office in Atlanta on Monday had online ties to QAnon-related content and appeared to be a supporter of former President Donald Trump, according to an open-source investigation by the group Advance Democracy.
Ervin Lee Bolling currently faces a count of destruction of government property. He has not yet entered a plea. An FBI affidavit states that after crashing his car, Bolling got out and tried to walk past the gate where he was stopped by three special agents. Bolling refused instructions to sit on the curb and resisted arrest when the agents tried to take him into custody, according to the charging documents.
Advance Democracy, in a report seen by NBC News, found social media accounts that appeared to be linked to Bolling that had a history of promoting conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election as well as QAnon.
"I love you @realDonaldTrump," one account suspected to be linked to Bolling posted back in December 2020, according to Advance Democracy. "You have more support than even you know."
