California man accused of using stun gun on police officer who had a heart attack during the Capitol
riot has been arrestedA 38-year-old apparent Trump superfan, identified on camera as a suspect in the assault of a police officer during the Capitol insurrection on January 6, was arrested Wednesday.
Daniel Joseph Rodriguez, a California man accused of being part of a mob that swarmed the DC Metropolitan Police officer Mike Fanone during the riot, was arrested in Fontana, California, and indicted on eight counts, according to court documents.
Fanone had a mild heart attack during the attack and said he pleaded for his life when a crowd of rioters began to chant, "Kill him with his own gun!" The father of four told media outlets he was shocked with a stun gun during the siege and spent a day and a half in the hospital recovering.
The Department of Justice indictment of Rodriguez filed last week said he used a "deadly and dangerous weapon, specifically an electroshock weapon, and inflicted bodily injury on MF."
