A well-known Long Island business owner faces federal charges for allegedly spraying insecticide against police and targeting members of the news media during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Peter Moloney, 58, was arrested in Bayport, New York, on Wednesday and is charged in Washington, D.C., with eight counts, including civil disorder and assaulting and resisting police officers. He is scheduled to make an initial appearance in federal court in Central Islip, New York, on Wednesday afternoon.
The Justice Department said Moloney sprayed the chemicals"in the direction of police officers' faces and bodies" amid the mob. The charging document said,"Moloney then continues punching and shoving the member of the news media away from the West Plaza, with other rioters eventually pushing the member of the news media over a wall. The distinctive elements of Moloney's attire that day and the can of Black Flag, Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Killer2 are clearly visible in several of the screenshots."
