Detention ordered for suspect in chemical spraying of US Capitol officers

WASHINGTON - A judge in West Virginia ordered U.S. Capitol riots suspect George Pierre Tanios detained on charges he conspired with a friend to assault three police officers with chemical spray, including one officer who later died.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi lamented a "culture, radicalized by hate" that played out at the Capitol on Jan. 6 during a peaceful transition of power. "We all witnessed it as Americans: Forcing yourself against law enforcement officials that had nothing but bike racks," Aloi said. "Why wouldn't you just turn the other way and go home? The fact that all of them weren't thinking that - it's just frightening to me."
