FBI: QAnon Riot Suspect Sprayed Cops With Chemicals

Law & Crime reports:

“There is a second amendment behind us,” 34-year-old Sean Michael McHugh allegedly taunted officers, according to his criminal complaint. “What are you going to do then?” Arrested on Friday, McHugh faces eight charges, including assaulting law enforcement with a deadly weapon.

Like several others at the assault on the Capitol, McHugh stands accused of spraying police with chemicals. Prosecutors say McHugh helped fellow rioters push a large metal sign into the officers and yelled: “Put it up there! Put it up there!”
