WASHINGTON (WWBT) - Prosecutors say a Virginia man has been arrested for knocking a police officer unconscious during the United States Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
Paul Russell Johnson, 35, of Lanexa, was arrested and charged with inflicting bodily injury on certain officers; obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder; obstruction of justice and Congress; engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds; and acts of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings.
According to court documents, Johnson was captured on video assaulting a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
“As depicted in open-source video footage reviewed by the FBI, Johnson was part of a crowd of people seen walking over and around the first line of barricades just off the roadway of Peace Circle. As the crowd approached a second line of barricades, guarded by uniformed USCP officers, Johnson can be seen on video holding a megaphone and shouting profanities toward the police, including, “Let’s go! F*** this s***! We pay your bills, you back the f*** off,” a release said.
Johnson allegedly became confrontational with officers as he approached the second barricade.
“He can be seen forcibly pushing and pulling on the metal barricades which caused a USCP officer to fall and hit her head on the stairs before losing consciousness,” a release said.
The officer then blacked out and collapsed hours later while arrested another rioter, a release said. She was taken to the emergency room and diagnosed with a concussion.
