NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A mother and son with ties to Middle Tennessee have been found guilty on all charges for their roles in the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to federal court records.

Lisa Eisenhart of Georgia, and her son, Eric Munchel of Nashville, were seen on video going inside the Capitol through an open door. Munchel reportedly wore a cell phone on his torso to record video detailing the events that happened inside the Capitol.

Munchel was photographed inside the U.S. Senate chamber wearing tactical gear and carrying flexible plastic handcuffs, coining the nickname “zip tie guy” from numerous media outlets.

Lisa Eisenhart is accused of breaking into the Capitol with her son, Eric Munchel.
