A suspected neo-Nazi from New Hampshire has been arrested in connection with his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

According to court documents, Richard Zachary Ackerman stole a U.S. Capitol police helmet and affixed a sticker affiliated with the "New England 131" white nationalist group during the riot. The FBI received a tip about him two days after the deadly event, reported NBC News correspondent Ryan J. Reilly.

A confidential informant who has not been charged with any crimes attended a gathering of the neo-Nazi group in 2021 and reported that Ackerman, who referred to himself as "Zach Parker," told other members he had been present at the riot and picked up a police helmet from the ground and put the sticker on it.

1. They're not going to charge him with sedition for stealing a helmet.

Overcharging is a good way to lose a case.

Also, they're charging him with more than theft, as noted in your link.

"Ackerman was charged with obstructing or interfering with a law enforcement officer; forcibly assaulting or impeding a person engaged in the performance of official duties; and stealing property belonging to an agency or department of the United States."
