An Ohio man was arrested Tuesday on charges that he brought a massive “Trump” sign to the U.S. Capitol and joined other rioters in using it as a weapon against police officers during a mob attack.
Jeffrey Newcomb, 41, of Polk, Ohio, apparently posted on social media that he brought the custom-made, metal-framed sign to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, "because bullets are expensive,” according to an FBI agent's affidavit. The sign was approximately 8 feet tall and 10 feet wide, with wheels the size of a person's head, the affidavit says.
