Jay Johnston, an actor who appeared in such shows as Arrested Development and Bob's Burgers, was arrested in California on Wednesday and faces charges in connection to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
According to court documents, Johnston, 54, allegedly helped pour water on the faces of rioters who had been pepper sprayed by law enforcement and was seen carrying a stolen shield that belonged to U.S. Capitol Police. The documents, which reference video and photo footage, say Johnston participated with other rioters in trying to push law enforcement officials.
"Several members of the crowd joined together to push against police in a concerted movement. Johnston participated in this concerted movement and pushed along with other rioters for several seconds," the document states.
