Federal Forces Arrest Ex-Marine for Beating Officer with a Hockey Stick During Capitol Riots
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal agents in Michigan have arrested former U.S. marine Michael
Joseph Foy for assaulting a federal officer and other charges related to
the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Video appears to show Foy
using a hockey stick to repeatedly bash a prone police officer who was
dragged into a violent mob trying to push its way inside the Capitol.
NPR reports nearly one in five people charged over the January 6 attack
are U.S. military veterans.
