A former mixed martial arts fighter accused of storming the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection has been denied bail by a federal judge in Washington, D.C.
Scott Fairlamb, who also runs a gym in Pompton Lakes, can allegedly be seen on video assaulting a police officer during the Capitol breach and was reportedly among the first to storm the building. He was identified after multiple people sent tips to the FBI, which led to his arrest in January. He was indicted in February on 12 federal criminal counts but pleaded not guilty on April 13.
