FILE - Insurrections loyal to President Donald Trump rally at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. A Maryland police officer who fatally shot a stabbing suspect earlier this year was arrested Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023, on charges that he assaulted police during a mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Officers had responded to calls for a stabbing at a thrift store in Silver Spring, Maryland, before they confronted the suspect, who was holding a foot-long butcher’s knife. The suspect ignored officers’ commands to drop the knife and lunged at Lee before the officer shot him, police said in a news release.Lee was arrested in Washington, D.C., on the Jan. 6 charges and was expected to make his initial court appearance on Thursday, according to the U.S.
An attorney for Lee, Terrell Roberts III, didn’t immediately respond to an email and telephone call seeking comment.
