A former Boston Police K-9 officer who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been arrested and charged for attacking a Capitol Police officer with a chair during the riot, NBC News reported.

Joseph Fisher faces several felony charges, including obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers. He was arrested on Thursday morning.

The FBI says Fisher was "wearing a beanie with the logos of several Boston sports teams." A current Boston Police officer identified Fisher after online sleuths pointed him out. The FBI also used cellphone records to track his whereabouts that day.
