A Wisconsin man arrested for allegedly attacking police at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and telling a friend there is “definitely something satisfying about pepper-spraying cops in riot gear and watching them run” faces six criminal charges in federal court.

Riley Douglas Kasper, 23, of Pulaski, was charged in a criminal complaint in Washington D.C. with assaulting, resisting, or impeding police with a dangerous weapon to inflict bodily injury; civil disorder; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon; engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, and several related offenses.
