The former Boston cop accused of assaulting a U.S. Capitol police officer during the Jan. 6 riot was arraigned in a D.C. court on Thursday after he was arrested last month.
Joseph Fisher, 52, of Plymouth, is facing federal charges after he allegedly entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, pushed a chair into a Capitol police officer, and “engaged in a physical altercation” with the officer.
Fisher, a former Boston police officer, had his initial appearance in D.C. federal court on Thursday. He was released after agreeing to certain conditions, including participating in a mental health treatment program and undergoing drug testing.
