WASHINGTON — The FBI arrested an alleged Jan. 6 participant in Maryland on Wednesday and charged him with assaults on law enforcement after identifying him with the help of online sleuths and matching moles on his face to footage from the 2021 Capitol attack. Thomas 'Tommy' Joseph Kelly, Jr. faces charges of assaulting officers; assaulting officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon; and civil disorder, along with several misdemeanors.

The FBI said that a video from outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, shows Kelly talking about the need to rush police officers when then the officers reformed a police line after the initial barriers were breached. 'They initially were back there! We jumped the fence, and they ran back! They're scared! They're scared!' the FBI quotes Kelly saying in the video.
