Ryan Samsel, 38, was charged in February with several crimes, including assaulting a federal officer, obstructing law enforcement, and obstructing a legal proceeding.
the alleged jailhouse attack that left Samsel with a broken nose, dislocated jaw, and seizures is now under investigation by authorities. Samsel’s former attorney told the outlet he was beaten up late at night in his cell after complaining the guards took hours to get him toilet paper. Samsel’s legal team did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast’s requests for comment.
A year later, Samsel allegedly got into another man’s car and began beating him without warning. When cops showed up, Samsel’s victim had missing teeth and a bloody face, the motion states. “The allegations of that assault involved Samsel smashing a hot pizza in the victim’s face, beating the victim, pouring a beer over her head, and eventually throwing her into the canal, where he then hopped down and held her head under,” the motion states. “When Samsel finally stopped holding her, the victim ran into the street barefoot and found a police vehicle. She desperately tried to open the door of the vehicle and the officer saw her and unlocked it so she could get in.
Prosecutors note Samsel’s seeming “disregard for the safety of others, the rule of law, and the democratic process” was also evident during his actions during the Jan. 6 siege. In several videos, Samsel is seen walking toward a barricade near the Capitol with another rioter, and immediately becoming confrontational with the officers standing guard.
