Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., say Andrew Quentin Taake, 32, was arrested after police body-camera video showed him pepper-spraying a line of officers who were trying to keep a mob from entering the Capitol. A criminal complaint says video also showed Taake making a second assault on officers later and striking officers with a whip-like weapon.
