DALLAS â A North Texas couple who allegedly assaulted police officers with their hands during the Jan. 6 insurrection and siege of the U.S. Capitol were arrested this week and charged in federal court, authorities said.
Mark and Jalise Middleton of Forestburg, an unincorporated area about 80 miles northwest of Dallas in Montague County, were captured on video and in photographs participating in the riot, the FBI says in a federal criminal complaint. They were arrested Wednesday and released Thursday from the Collin County jail, according to jail records.
The married couple are charged with assault of a law enforcement officer, interference with a law enforcement officer during civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, unlawful entry on restricted grounds, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
