WASHINGTON — A Jan. 6 participant whose dreaded blonde locks and face tattoos made him a memorable face in the pro-Trump mob has been arrested in South Dakota, the FBI said, accusing him of shoving an officer during the Capitol melee after 'ramming' a giant metal-framed “TRUMP” sign into a line of police officers. William George Knight faces more than a half-dozen charges in connection with the Jan.

' 'We ain't leaving! We ain't going nowhere!' Knight yelled at officers, according to the FBI. 'Here are the b----es. Here are the b----es.' Knight also helped use a giant metal-framed 'TRUMP' sign as a ram against a line of police officers and then shoved an officer, according to the FBI. The intent of Jan. 6 participants who touched that sign has been difficult for courts to discern.
