Capitol rioter arrested for spraying cops with fire extinguisher and donning one of their helmets

Ray Hartmann

Nicholas James Brockhoff has been arrested by the FBI on charges of committing violence against officers protecting the U.S. Capitol on January 6 -- crimes more serious than most of the unlawful entry and trespassing charges issued to more than 450 rioters.

Brockhoff, 20, of Covington, KY, is accused of having attacked officers by spraying them with first extinguishers from scaffolding near the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol Building.

The FBI criminal complaint cited video in which Brockhoff is seen "discharging the contents of fire a fire extinguisher from the scaffolding…onto both MPD and USCP law enforcement officers who were standing beneath Brockhoff and attempting to hold back the rioters.

" (Two) officers stated that they were hit with the contents of the fire extinguisher, which caused law enforcement to disperse and obstructed law enforcement's ability to see."

A couple years ago, the one in the MAGA hat. It isn't him, but they could be brothers.
