Patrick Edward McCaughey III, 23, of Ridgefield, C.T., was arrested on Tuesday in Westchester County for allegedly assaulting an officer during the breach of the U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6.
“The vicious attack on Officer Hodges was abhorrent and quintessentially un-American,” Acting U.S. Attorney Michael R. Sherwin said. “It is my pledge that anyone involved in violent attacks on law enforcement at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. McCaughey’s alleged actions were an assault on Officer Hodges, the Capitol, and the rule of law itself.”
