Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested at the United States Capitol on Friday.
Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys and recently pardoned by President Donald Trump, was arrested at the U.S. Capitol after an altercation with a protester. Tarrio allegedly struck a woman's phone and arm during the incident, which occurred following a press conference. He had previously been sentenced to the longest term among those convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, though he was not present at the Capitol on that day. His conviction stemmed from seditious conspiracy charges, with evidence including violent rhetoric in messages about plans if Congress certified Joe Biden's election win.
