Capitol Hill rioter and former NYC cop unhappy about being detained with 'inner-city' criminals
"alleged" rioter
A former New York City police officer accused of participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — where a Capitol Hill policeman lost his life — is reportedly unhappy about being detained among people charged with “inner-city” crimes.
Washington Post reporter Rachel Weiner tweeted that a lawyer for Thomas Webster, who prosecutors say beat a D.C. police officer with a flagpole, is arguing that the 54-year-old suspect is uncomfortable with his “dormitory setting.” He is reportedly housed with people who allegedly committed what the attorney calls “inner city crimes.” Webster is also accused of trying to gouge out that officer’s eyes.
“For a middle aged guy whose never been arrested before, this has been a shock for him,” that attorney reportedly said.
