NEW YORK - Two members of the Proud Boys, a nationalist organization, were indicted in federal court for conspiring to obstruct law enforcement, among other charges, connected to the Jan.
6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Justice announced. The two men have been identified as Dominic Pezzola, 43, of Rochester, New York, and William Pepe, 31, of Beacon, New York.
Authorities say Pezzola, a former Marine, was seen on video smashing a Capitol window with a stolen Capitol Police riot shield, and that Pepe was seen photographed inside the building.
Both were arrested earlier this month on federal charges and have now been indicted in Washington on charges that newly include conspiracy.
