NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Federal officials say a Tennessee man is accused of being violent during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
A statement from the Justice Department says the charges against 40-year-old Joshua John Portlock of Smyrna include engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.
He was arrested Wednesday in Smyrna, made his initial court appearance and was released pending a hearing on Nov. 9. It wasn’t immediately clear if Portlock has an attorney.
