Two off-duty police officers who participated in the Capitol siege, one of whom is a corporal in the Virginia National Guard, were charged Tuesday in federal court — becoming the first known service member arrest in connection to the Jan. 6 riot.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia identified the men as Jacob Fracker and Thomas Robertson, both officers in Rocky Mount, about 25 miles south of Roanoke.

Both officers were off duty when they were photographed in the Capitol allegedly making obscene gestures in front of a statue of John Stark, a Revolutionary War general, the office said.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said the men did not hide their involvement in storming the Capitol on social media.

According to the office, Robertson said in a since-deleted social media post: “CNN and the Left are just mad because we actually attacked the government who is the problem and not some random small business.”

The office said Fracker posted a comment on a Facebook post: “Lol to anyone who’s possibly concerned about the picture of me going around… Sorry I hate freedom? ...Not like I did anything illegal.”
