“#Derrick Evans resigns from West Virginia House of Delegates<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The West Virginia lawmaker who recorded himself storming the US Capitol resigned<\/a> Saturday \u2014 a day after his arrest for taking part in the siege.<\/p>\n

Derrick Evans, 35, a freshman member of the West Virginia House of Delegates was arrested Friday, Justice Department officials said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Evans streamed himself entering the building with the mob on his Facebook<\/a> page, shouting as he crossed the threshold: \u201cWe\u2019re in, baby!\u201d Evans can be heard saying. \u201cWe\u2019re here. We\u2019re here. Derrick Evans is in the Capitol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans apologized for his actions in a resignation letter submitted on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past few days have certainly been a difficult time for my family, colleagues and myself, so I feel it\u2019s best at this point to resign my seat in the House and focus on my personal situation and those I love,\u201d Evans said, according to WTRF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians,\u201d the letter continued. \u201cI hope this action I take today can remove any cloud of distraction from the state Legislature, so my colleagues can get to work in earnest building a brighter future for our state.\u201d<\/p>\n

The freshman lawmaker previously said he would not resign for taking part in the uprising.<\/p>\n

The U.S. District Attorney\u2019s office for the District of Columbia said Friday that Evans would be slapp<\/a>ed with federal charges for the stunt.<\/p><\/div>\n
