SEATTLE (AP) — The Justice Department says a member of the Proud Boys has been arrested in King County in connection with the breach of the nation’s Capitol.
Ethan Nordean, also known as Rufio Panman, was due to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Seattle this afternoon, after he was charged in Washington, D.C., with obstructing an official proceeding, entering a restricted building, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds.
The Justice Department says the 30-year-old Nordean was among those who entered the Capitol and that he had been near the front of the crowd of rioters as the confronted Capitol Police.
