Kevin Creek of Georgia, who was caught on camera striking and kicking officers, was arrested Wednesday in connection with the Jan. 6 riot.
Kevin Creek, a Georgia man whom officials say was captured on camera kicking and striking police officers on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was arrested Thursday and charged with several crimes, including disorderly conduct and assaulting and impeding officers. Creek was part of a thousands-strong mob of insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol that day, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Justice Department. Creek admitted during an interview with the FBI that he had driven to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5 and had been on the grounds of the Capitol during the riot. He also confessed to having been armed “with mace and a boot knife” at the time. It does not appear that Creek entered the Capitol building itself. He said he’d attempted to get in but had been deterred by tear gas, according to the complaint.More Related News
