ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Three more arrests have been made in Central Florida in connection with the Jan. 6, Capitol riot, bringing the total of arrests in the area to 30.
St. Cloud residents Traci Isaacs, 52, and Luis Hallon, 67, who are married to each other, and Leslie Gray, 56, were arrested on charges stemming from the violent riot in 2021.

According to the Department of Justice, the three walked to the Capitol and entered through the Rotunda Doors. The department said Gray took videos inside the building and is heard saying in one video, “I am in Congress. This is our house. This is our house! … I don’t know what we are doing now but we are in here. We’ve taken it.”
DOJ officials said Isaacs was interviewed by FBI on March 29, 2021, and they recovered deleted messages afterward, including one sent to someone saying, “Delete anything I sent you please. Feds are going after people hard.”
The three face charges of entering restricted building or grounds and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Isaacs and Gray face additional charges of tampering or destruction of records and documents. Gray also faces a charge of obstruction, impeding or interfering with a law enforcement officer.
Records show Isaacs is related to William Isaacs, who was arrested last year and indicted by a federal grand jury.
All three defendants are expected to have a Zoom court appearance on June 23. Luis Hallon will also have a preliminary hearing in Florida on this Friday at 10 a.m. Isaacs and Gray waived their preliminary hearings in Orlando.
At the time of the Jan. 6 riot, the U.S. Capitol was not open to the public because of the pandemic.
More than 840 people have been arrested by the FBI in the 17 months since the riot, in nearly all 50 states. The DOJ said the investigation is ongoing.
This comes as the Jan. 6 panel has been holding hearings.
