Thomas Webster, a 20-year veteran of the New York City Police Department (NYPD), now retired, was denied bail on Tuesday at a hearing in US district court in White Plains, New York on charges related to the January 6 storming of the US Capitol by a fascist mob.
Webster, a former US Marine, was once a member of the security detail at New York’s City Hall. He is charged with violently assaulting a D.C. police officer during the storming of the Capitol.
The 54-year-old retired from the NYPD in 2011 and is now residing in Orange County, New York, about 65 miles from the city. He was wanted by the FBI for participating in the assault.
