Myton man becomes 13th Utahn arrested and charged in connection to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Odin Meacham, 29, was arrested Monday and charged with several felony counts, including assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, civil disorder, and disorderly and disruptive conduct.
Court documents allege Meacham was part of a group that congregated on a Capitol terrace before he attempted to pull a bike rack from law enforcement officers that were trying to hold the line. Seconds later, Meacham was seen rushing towards officers with a wooden pole, hitting one officer in the upper body.
In the months following the attack, Meacham was identified as a participant through body cameras and closed circuit video. However, it wasn't until March 2023 when a witness positively identified Meacham in photos and claimed that he had traveled to Washington around the time of the riot.
