WASHINGTON — The owner of a chain of funeral homes on Long Island, New York, was arrested by the FBI on Wednesday and charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, NBC News has learned.


Peter G. Moloney of Bayport has been accused of spraying insecticide at police officers and assaulting members of the media, law enforcement officials said.

He faces charges of felony civil disorder; assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers; assault by striking; and five additional misdemeanor counts, according to charging documents unsealed Wednesday.

"Moloney did not simply march to the Capitol with other protestors. He brought protective eyewear, a helmet, and a can of Black Flag Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Killer," an FBI agent stated in an affidavit against Moloney. "This indicates that he went to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, prepared for violence." The agent added that Moloney assaulted law enforcement officers with the can of spray.

Authorities said Moloney also assaulted an Associated Press photographer, as well as videographer Nick Quested — who was referred to by his initials, "N.Q.," in the affidavit — by pulling on their cameras and causing them to fall down some stairs..............................................................

The owner of a funeral home chain in Long Island, New York was arrested by FBI agents this week after being exposed as an alleged Capitol rioter.

NBC News reports that Peter G. Moloney of Bayport, New York, has been charged with spraying insecticide at police officers and assaulting members of the media on January 6th, 2021.

Moloney had been identified many months ago by the group of online sleuths known as the "Sedition Hunters," who frequently complained that it was taking too long to arrest the Trump supporter for his alleged crimes.

"Sleuths even made jokes referencing Moloney's business, saying they were 'dying' to see him arrested," reports NBC News. "Online sleuths have identified hundreds of additional Jan. 6 participants who have not yet been arrested."....................................

1. HAHA

I hope he has been shitting bricks all this time

[BWdem4life]

2. I love how the arrests keep coming.

Yes, they are taking a long time in many cases... but they continue to happen. It reminds me of Nazi war criminals, hunted down to the end of their days. As it should be.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. ☝️ THIS!!

[bottomofthehill]

5. No shit. 30 months later and you get a knock on your door. It's the FBI

I love it. I hope the rest of the insurrectionists are getting a shitty nights sleep knowing that a dedicated band of online sleuths are still hunting them down. Thanks to all of them for continuing to pursue the band of shitbags who attacked the US Capitol and Democracy itself. Keep going Sedition Hunters! And thank you.

13. Should have turned himself in

I hope the prosecutor is merciless with this asshole now. Dude hid for 2-1/2 years, his sentence should be severe. Instead of several months and probation, he should face several years and parole.

[bottomofthehill]

16. He assaulted police officers with a chemical agent

He should be going to jail for a while. USCP Officer Brian Sicknick died on 1/7 the fmday after being attacked by a chemical cocktail of pepper spray, CS, Bear Spray, Black Flag, WD 40 and a host of other chemicals. Brian was a hero who died defending democracy.

[yardwork]

14. Yes!

[riversedge]

7. some probably think they are safe by now but if they read this--they have to be stressed out!!

[RockRaven]

3. I look forward to his defense attorneys wasting the jury's time with arguments about how actually

that insecticide isn't that toxic, so something something let my people go.

[bottomofthehill]

17. Good luck trying to make that argument, From Black Flag

Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing spray mist. Contact with product may result in
transient tingling and reddening of the skin. Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Remove
and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco.

FIRST AID

If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible.
Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice

6. Sounds like 4 years.

Have fun, Morty.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. It is proof this was an insurrection (planned) and not a riot (spontaneous).

[GoodRaisin]

9. Bet he thought he was going to get away with it. Too bad.

Enjoy prison sucker. Another POS will be removed from civilized society.

[SouthernDem4ever]

10. Of course he did

After all they were Dump's army. Unfortunately for them they were following a lawless, lying, narcissistic grifter who couldn't give a crap what happens to them and will throw them under the bus to save his orange skin.

[brewens]

11. The right must not have sleuths. They have yet to ID a leftist of any kind from the crowd.

[FSogol]

12. +1. They are better at unfounded expectations and wishful thinking.

[GreenWave]

19. What about our Antifa Navy that sunk those Trump flotilla on that lake?

Or that Trump boat on fire?

We strike and hide!

[malaise]

15. Congrats sleuths

You are the meaning of ‘we the people’.
Dying with laughter this morning for this and PR’s departure.
Lock them all up

18. J6 Sleuths Were AWESOME.

I can't express enough appreciation for their tireless work and commitment to the behemoth job of identifying these violent traitors.

For the first several days and weeks following J6, which I monitored for a time.

They were amazing. And there were a number of successful identifications.

[obamanut2012]

20. Sedition Hunters IDed him almost two years ago! He used a neurotoxin against cops

Wasp Killer is legally and scientifically a neurotoxin, it ain't mace or bear spray.

[Iggo]

21. Two years after he was identified?

A-ha, this explains it: "Online sleuths have identified hundreds of additional Jan. 6 participants who have not yet been arrested."
