The retired firefighter who appears to be the man caught on camera throwing a fire extinguisher that hit at least three officers at the Capitol during a riot was arrested Thursday, officials said.
Robert Sanford, of Chester, Pa., faces three federal felony charges including assaulting a police officer, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Video footage of the incident shows the man hurling a fire extinguisher officers attempting to control a mob outside of the west side of the Capitol.
The FBI has been pursuing charges against dozens of suspects in the riots, many of whom were identified through photos and videos circulating on social media-- some posted by participants themselves.

I’d like to know the retired firefighter’s political persuasion. Was he a Trump supporter? Or Antifa/BLM?
I’ll be heavily disappointed if he’s a Trump supporter. Our side should not be chunking fire extinguishers at the po-po.
When this is all exposed there will be only 1 death associated the the Antifa Assault on the Capital. The CA woman who was shot and killed by officer.
The officer was not killed by the fire extinguisher.
The other 4 deaths were totally unrelated to the attack. They had various medical emergencies that took place and were not responded to quickly enough to save them.
And there’s a video of him lobbing it.
Hate to say it but,
think the police and antifa/blm are in cahoots. just an opinion, subject to change when antifa/blm are charged!
“He deserves to have the book thrown at him. You never assault a cop.”
You never hit anyone with a fire extinguisher.
Look, though, for disproportionate sentencing compared to 2017 inauguration riots and subsequent riots.
This is a separate case from the one where the officer was hit and later died.
Took 21 replies for someone to ask the question. Not covered in the article. What's a fair assumption?
If he did it, throw the book at him.
He should know better having worked as a first responder .
What the heck has gotten into people ?
It was wrong to do that but the video that I saw made the fire extinguisher look pretty light weight and bounced off helmeted officers quite easily. They seemed to hardly notice it.
Ever picked up a fire extinguisher?
They are not light, even the small ones weigh a lot
What was wrong with him besides his criminality? He could have killed one of them by throwing a fire extinguisher at them! Was his creepy brain full of conspiracy theories?
If found guilty, I hope he is executed.
Now, who murdered Ashli Babbitt?
I strongly suspect that he’s not a Trump supporter.🤔
This.🤔
Yep. They have him on criminal trespassing, insurrection, assault on a policeman, aggravated assault, and more to come.
3 Hots and a Cot, for quite a few years.
Really?
Well, as we know, authorities do lie. Just like they are not releasing the name of that man who murdered Ashli Babbitt.
“Was his creepy brain full of conspiracy theories?”

Don’t know. The article doesn’t say if he was Antifa or Qtard.
Are you questioning the FIB?
This alphabet org will make the evidence needed to convict.
How dare you question big brother and gmen. /s
Yeah they move in on conservatives and racist door pulls in a nanosecond. Well maybe that is an too much. A millisecond is about right
That’s a guy that deserves to go down
Rage risk
