Using several tips that included images and posts from Facebook and body camera footage from police, the FBI on Tuesday announced the arrest of Troy E. Sargent of Pittsfield in connection with the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Through video images captured during investigation, authorities identified Sargent and said he not only participated in the violence, but appeared to throw a punch at a U.S. Capitol Police officer at the federal building in early January.

Sargent is scheduled for for a remote court appearance in a Springfield federal court before Magistrate Katherine A. Robertson on Tuesday.

He is charged with forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding federal officers, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, knowingly engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in restricted building or grounds, knowingly engaging in physical violence in restricted building or grounds and willfully and knowingly engaging in physical violence in capitol grounds or buildings.

According to court documents, the FBI received two tips on Jan. 11 that Sargent participated in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Each submission included a photograph that has since been removed from social media of Sargent in front of U.S. Capitol police in riot gear.
