Father, stepson from Washington arrested for roles in Jan. 6 breach of US Capitol

Afather and stepson from Washington state were arrested in Tacoma on Wednesday for their roles in the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced.

Caden Paul Gottfried, 20, and Richard Slaughter, 40, are charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon, interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder and other misdemeanors. Slaughter faces additional felony charges.

According to court documents, Slaughter and Gottfried illegally entered the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, and joined rioters on the Lower West Terrace.

Slaughter was among a group near the entrance to a tunnel area that leads to the entrance of the Capitol Building.

Around 3:30 p.m., Slaughter grabbed a police shield from another rioter and kept it from a police officer. Slaughter then told officers, among other things, “You guys need to stand down. Just walk away, nobody will (expletive) hurt any of you.”
