The owner of a Half Moon Bay business that uses fish to grow plants is the latest Bay Area resident charged by federal prosecutors in connection with the Capitol invasion last year.
Pescadero was arrested Thursday
He is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin pending a transfer of his case to Washington. An FBI affidavit made reference to a YouTube video in which Armstrong, seen at his farm, sits next to a tank and says, "This tank we have our koi and our ornamental fish, and the rest of our tanks we have rainbow trout."
Authorities said Armstrong admitted to going inside the Capitol and was captured on closed-circuit TV recording video on his cell phone.
