David Lee Judd become the 20th Capitol rioter arrested by the Dallas branch of the FBI alone Friday. And the charges against him are among the most severe.

Judd, 34, from the Dallas suburb of Carrollton, is charged under federal statutes that make it a crime to "obstruct, impede, or interfere with law enforcement officers during the commission of a civil disorder" and that prohibit "forcibly assaulting police and using a deadly or dangerous weapon."

The FBI charging document accused Judd not only of hurling the firecracker at law enforcement officers, but also of actively participating in the insurrectionists' push to break through a tunnel to the Capitol building. Judd, described as "a white male with curly blonde hair wearing a red "Make America Great Again" baseball hat backwards, a black hoodie and a grey vest," was part of a group pushing against officers, the FBI complaint says.

Judd can also be seen yelling "shield wall" as he pumps his fist in the air (in a YouTube video) and helps pass shields to other rioters, the FBI alleged. Then the complaint gets colorful:

2. Murderous lout.

Tossing a firecracker at overwhelmed police can lead to all manner of mayhem.

The documents state Judd can be seen on a video exiting the tunnel and later yelling at other rioters to “pass back the stolen riot shields in order to make a shield wall.”

Judd can be seen in a video moving at least two shields into the tunnel and passing them to another rioter, the documents state.

A video shows Judd then light something on fire and throw it at the line of officers and then leave the tunnel, the documents state.

An unidentified person in the tunnel is then heard saying that Judd threw a firecracker, the documents state.

Records state Judd is seen on multiple videos standing around the entrance for the next hour, chanting with the crowd, encouraging people to enter and washing the OC spray off their faces when they leave the tunnel.
