Prosecutors said that in the days after the January 6 attack, Garret Miller became obsessed with identifying the US Capitol Police officer involved in the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt and seeking "justice." According to court filings, Miller identified a Black police officer that he believed to be responsible for Babbitt's death and circulated the officer's picture on Facebook. "He's a prize to be taken," Miller allegedly said of the officer, according to new court filings. Prosecutors said Miller threatened to "hug his neck with a nice rope" and that "he will swing." Miller allegedly sent a picture of a rope tied to a noose to an associate over Instagram and said, "I had a rope in my bag that day."
