Internet meme of large naked man sitting on a bed accidentally included in FBI documents for case against Capitol rioter
THE internet meme of a large naked man sitting on a bed accidentally made its way into FBI documents for a case against a Capitol rioter.
The image, which is known online as "wood sitting on a bed," was photoshopped into the background of a picture from the January 6 attack on the Capitol building - and later given to the FBI as evidence.
In the doctored image, the photo of Clay is replaced by the "wood" meme.
The image was given to the FBI for the case against McCreary, 33, who is seen in the photo wearing a blue surgical mask, .
It somehow made its way into the federal complaint against McCreary, which was filed Wednesday.
He allegedly tried to claim he was more of an observer, there to document the violence.
However, people who know McCreary reportedly told the FBI that he regularly expressed his political views at work - a Domino's Pizza in Massachusetts.
He believed the unfounded claims - perpetuated by Trump - that there was widespread fraud committed in the 2020 presidential election.
McCreary also allegedly told a co-worker that he "raided" the Capitol after returning from the event.
He is one of more than 100 rioters who have been booked in the weeks since the deadly riot, which left five people - including a Capitol police officer - dead.
