Capitol rioter charged with assaulting DC officer buried stolen police badge in NY backyard: FBI
Fox News
An upstate New York man has been charged with assaulting DC Metropolitan Police Officer (MPD) Mike Fanone outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, robbing him of his police badge and taking it back to his home in Buffalo, where he allegedly buried it in his backyard.
The FBI used Fanone’s officer-worn body camera footage to identify one of his attackers as Thomas Sibick of Buffalo, New York. Sibick posted a video to his Instagram account showing him using his cellphone to record himself on the inauguration ceremony stage of the lower west terrace where he screams, "Just got tear-gassed, but we’re going, baby, we’re going!" according to the statement of facts filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Another photo shared to Facebook on Jan. 27 showed him posing outside the Capitol with a U.S. Capitol Police shield.More Related News
