A Fort Worth man is the latest North Texan to be charged in connection with the deadly riots at the US Capitol building in Washington D.C. last January.
The latest from the Dallas Fort Worth area to be indicted and arrested is 26-year-old Jason Blythe. He faces charges of civil disorder, assaulting officers with a deadly weapon and carrying on violence on the Capitol grounds.
In this case, prosecutors say the deadly weapon was a part of a crowd control fence.
The indictment says Blythe and four others used that section of fence to attack two officers, injuring one.
Blythe, the feds say, was arrested based on pictures from the scene.
To date more than 20 people from the Dallas - Fort Worth area have been arrested. Two are currently serving prison terms after pleading guilty.
