An actor who appeared on shows including "Mr. Show,” “Arrested Development,” "Bob's Burgers" and in the movie “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" has been arrested and charged in relation to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, NBC News reported.
Jay Johnston was charged with felony obstruction of officers during civil disorder as well as other misdemeanors.
Prosecutors say Johnston entered the upper west tunnel to the Capitol and "assisted at least three other insurrectionists by pouring water on the rioters' faces" after they were hit with pepper spray. He then used a stolen U.S. Capitol Police shield to fight against police alongside other rioters, the report said.
