A Michigan man was just arrested for his alleged involvement in the deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol after investigators stumbled upon his very thirsty social media pages.
Logan Barnhart (a.k.a. CatSweat) of Lansing, Michigan was taken into custody yesterday by the FBI on suspicion of assaulting federal police officers during the January 6 attack.
Internet sleuths were able to identify the 40-year-old using facial recognition software, which then led them to a number of thirst traps he had posted to Instagram and Facebook.
In addition to being a self-proclaimed professional “pipe layer” and competitive bodybuilder, Barnhard has also appeared on the covers of at least three raunchy romance novels, including one where the main character has sex with his stepsister.
How about we take this to the next level?

HuffPost reports:
A tipping point in the investigation came when the Sedition Hunters uncovered video of Barnhart that showed him without sunglasses during the Trump rally at the White House Ellipse prior to the attack.
That image of Barnhart’s face, plugged into a publicly available facial recognition website, pulled up several other images of Barnhart that are plastered across the internet on bodybuilding websites and photography portfolios.
Photos of a shirtless Barnhart even graced the cover of romance novels with names like “Stepbrother UnSEALed: A Bad Boy Military Romance” and “Lighter,” which included the slogan “wrong never felt so right.”
Barnhart is believed to be the same man who was caught on camera dragging a police officer down a flight of stairs at the Capitol before the man was beaten with a flagpole by another domestic terrorist.
After being outed on Instagram, Barnhart deleted his profile, which had about 750 followers. His Facebook page, however, remains up, though he hasn’t posted anything there since December 2019.
During a court appearance yesterday, Barnhart was assigned a court-appointed attorney. He was released on house arrest and an unsecured $5,000 bond.

Mister P
Trying to overthrow our country is not “Hot”
IvanPH
He’s all brawn and no brain.
AxelDC
He’s ugly, not a “thirst trap”.
BoomerMyles
Very unnatural looking too.
Bengali
A nutjob Majrorie HAGATHA Greene demands those being held for their CAPITOL INSURRECTION crimes be released, more and more nut job “activists” who were bent on attacking and murdering elected officials continue to be exposed.
How to fix this
1) Someone needs to drop a house on Marjorie…a very heavy one.
2) No one involved in Insurrection should get less than a felony charge. Let’s not forget what their objectives were.
3) Remove any member of Congress from office and never let them run again if they are found to have enabled or participated in the events of January 6. In addition these congressional members must be charged to the fullest extend of the law.
Heywood Jablowme
She’s not the only member of Congress who’s suspected of helping the insurrectionists ahead of time, with “tours” and the like.
unreligious
So, we are supposed to care about this low life because some vapid staffer on queerty thinks he’s a thirst trap?

What a lenient system that permits an arrestee who has been charged with assaulting a federal officer to go home on $5,000 bail (probably means $500 is all he needed to come up with)! And it was during an insurrection and it’s not like he turned himself in. Sad!
I hope he at least spends a few years in prison.
carllonghorn
My thoughts exactly – if this was a person of color from Georgia, he/she would not be walking out of some trumped up hearing with a $5,000 bail. Of course that’s assuming they weren’t shot on sight in the first place. So some trashy pipe layer from Michigan who does a sideshow as a “model” basically gets a slap?

Every person who is proven to have been involved in the deadly US Capitol insurrection should be tried and then sentenced as any other terrorist trying to overthrow the government would be sentenced. It doesn’t matter what they thought—it was an act of terrorism against the US government. There should be no pity or sympathy for any of those morons.
d3clark
Well said. Lock them up.
gregg2010
I totally agree. These people are traitors.
cubcmh
yay!
lmdoane55
@unreligious to answer your question we are supposed to care about our country and not because he is or is not a #ThirtstTrap LoL. we are all Queer Fish; some of us more so than others. I applaud Queerty for bringing this POS to our attention btw. HHD! Y’all
azianboy
There are pictures of him dragging an officer on the concrete floor. Queerty why don’t you post them for everyone to see!!
Prax07
None of these terrorists should be allowed bail, let them all sit in jail while awaiting trial.
gregg2010
I don’t find this traitor a thirst trap. Queerty needs to get a life.
carllonghorn
Yup – the story is NOT this guy’s abs but his traitorous behavior against his country on Jan. 6th. Show pictures of the poor cop he allegedly dragged down the stairs. Oh, right, that isn’t so appealing, I guess.
lmdoane55
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder… again the tag line was what dragged you in but it’s not the story. It’s all about his behavior both on social media and 6th January kinda basic but hey isn’t it all just a big trap anyways
SDR94103
whoever thought this American homegrown terrorist deserves this notoriety should be fired. FORKING RIDICULOUS.
which then led them to a number of thirst traps– DISGUSTING.
ShiningSex
you’d have to be thirsty to like that. EWWWWWWW not cute at all!!! Douchebag alert!!!!
cuteguy
Let him be a thirst trap in prison
RockyBlanc
Pissed off, mad at the world white guy Trumper. Like why? Because you realize at some point that looks can only take you so far in life?
or perhaps the guy realize that muscles got him guys instead or chicks?
mgconlan
Hottest fascist I’ve seen since the Nazis got Hugo Boss to design their uniforms.
ScottOnEarth
A disgusting excuse for a human being, regardless of what he looks like.
CityguyUSA
More phony abs.
Georgeiv2
This is what happens when some irrelevant guy tries to compensate for having a small penis
James
It looks like he had surgery on his chest and it did not heal well.
James
Funny how all these morons are arrested, but the real culprit and perpetrator hides in a mansion in Florida.
Gay Thomas
Graham Gremore has really low standards. Dude is ugly and he’s a seditionist piece of trash.
