Law & Crime reports:
Things are getting even more dicey for a Florida firefighter linked to the D.C. insurrection. Andrew James Williams was arrested for a count each of unlawful entry of a restricted building, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, the Sanford Fire Department said in a statement late Tuesday.
The defendant had already been put on administrative leave with pay last Thursday after the department learned about a photograph that put him at the scene. The image shows the man identified as Williams pointing at a placard for Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker and perennial target for President Donald Trump.
This is moment @CitySanfordFL firefighter Andrew Williams left federal court after being arrested for his participation in #CapitolRiot. His attorney says @POTUS encouraged “despicable” behavior and that Williams “took part in none of it.” @MyNews13
