WASHINGTON An alleged Jan. 6 participant charged with assaulting officers during the attack on the U.S. Capitol was identified with the help of facial recognition and a scar above his left eye.
Joshua Lee Atwood was known as LeadPipeGuy by online "sedition hunters," who identified him to the bureau back in 2021. Court records show that Atwood was arrested by the FBI on Wednesday in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and charged with assaulting law enforcement on Jan. 6.
A ten-year-old mugshot of Atwood included a ... scar on the left portion of ATWOODs forehead, according to the FBI, which said it matched the scar to photos of Atwood outside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Last year, Atwood was arrested in Pennsylvania in connection with an alleged armed robbery and assault at the Crazy Donkey restaurant in West Virginia. The Weirton Daily Times reported that Atwood "allegedly grabbed money from the cash drawer at the restaurant during the argument and attempted to flee, stabbing the victim in his arm on his way out while retrieving a dropped firearm." A patrolman involved in that arrest helped confirm the ID to the FBI, according to the bureau. Court records show that Atwood's bond was set at $100,000 in that case before it was transferred to the Hancock County Circuit Court. The Hancock County Circuit Court told NBC News that Atwood was recently indicted in that case and has not yet entered a plea.
