Kentucky man accused of dragging DC cop down steps during Capitol riot, FBI says

LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Kentucky man is accused of grabbing a police officer and dragging him down steps outside the U.S. Capitol building during the riot on Jan. 6, according to newly unsealed federal court records.

Clayton Ray Mullins, a Benton man who was detained by federal agents Tuesday, allegedly was seen in videos posted to YouTube assaulting a D.C. metropolitan police officer during the riot, according to an FBI affidavit filed in court.

Video showed Mullins grabbing at the officer while on the steps of the Capitol building, eventually managing to get hold of his leg and “violently pulling on it,” according to the affidavit. The officer was dragged down the steps.

Another officer at the scene was shown on body camera video trying to pull the officer away from Mullins, which led to a “battle of tug of war” over the officer, according to the affidavit.

As the object of a tug of war, between two inmates, fighting for his affection?
