Enric Tario, former boys leader Enrique Tario, was arrested on charges of assault outside the Capitol
Enrique Tario, the former boys leader, was awarded President Donald Trump last month, outside the American Capitol building on Friday and charged with assaulting a protester.
Tarrio was caught, searched and placed in a police car by the Capitol Police after appearing in Capitol Hill with many other members of the other children and right -wing guards to obtain a “press conference”. The police said that he was charged with assault.
The Capitol Police said in a statement that the accident occurred at about 2:30 pm East time when “our officers saw a woman (a counter -protester) put a cell phone near the man’s face” while they were walking. “Then the officers witnessed the man hitting the woman’s phone and his arm,” the statement said.

He was asked why he was detained, Tario told the spectators that “a woman suspended her phone in my face, so I am [inaudible] Her phone. “
NBC News contacted the Washington Prosecutor’s Office – which is currently headed by Ed Martin, who helped organize the “stopping theft” march that preceded the Capitol riot and later became a defender of the defendants on January 6. NBC News has also reached Tarrio representatives.
Tario was serving a 22 -year prison sentence in the federal prison on charges that included an vague plot for its role on January 6, 2021, the Capitol attack until last month, when Trump reduced his sentence.
Joe Begis, the leader of the boys, announced plans for the press conference on Thursday as he appeared on the former Bodcast Steve Bannon in Trump Bannon.
“I, Enrique Tario, Stewart Rhodes, right -wing guards and Zakari [Rehl] Here, we will go to the Capitol and talk about our future plans, and what we seem to do. “
At the press conference, they told reporters that they were planning to sue the Ministry of Justice about the charges against them.
“I am not talking about violent revenge. I am talking about something more powerful, accountable and the rule of law. This is why we are announcing today a lawsuit against the Ministry of Justice for the murders, their lies and the end of the suffering they put for us.”
No lawsuit has yet been filed. Biggs indicated that they will search for “about 150 million dollars”, but “we did not focus on what exactly it will be.”
The four men were convicted of the bad conspiracy of the leading roles they played in riots in January 6, and the group received some of the longest prison sentences associated with the rebellion. Trump diluted all their rulings on his first day in his position, while he issued nearly 1500 pardons to supporters who were convicted of criminal charges related to the attack.
