Mississippi man arrested for assault on officers during Jan. 6 attack on Capitol

Michael Lee Brock faces federal charges




WASHINGTON —

A Mississippi man is facing federal charges related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Michael Leon Brock, 54, of Walls, was arrested Tuesday, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice. Walls is charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers and obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, among other charges. Brock made his initial appearance in the Northern District of Mississippi on Wednesday morning.

"According to court documents, Brock was on the Upper West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol around 4 p.m. on Jan. 6. As depicted in body-worn camera footage, Brock charged at law enforcement officers while holding what appeared to be a four-foot-long rod as the officers attempted to control the crowd. As alleged, Brock repeatedly pushed and struck officers with the rod," USDOJ officials said in a news release.

Southaven police and DeSoto County sheriff's deputies assisted in Brock's arrest. The case is being investigated by the FBI, with assistance from the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Capitol Police Department.

1. Fuck him, lock him up is right.

Smashing an officer over the head with a pole, lock him up and throw away the key. Multiple counts of assaulting a police officer as a part of an armed insurrection.

Fuck him
