Tighe Scott and his son Jarret Scott face two felony offenses each.
Tighe Scott, 75, and his son Jarret Scott, 48, face two felony offenses each as well as a multiple misdemeanor offenses for a series of alleged assaults prosecutors say they engaged in outside the Capitol among the pro-Trump mob.
Charging documents show the FBI confirmed Tighe Scott’s identity in part because a witness told agents he was a retired NASCAR driver.
The four men were seen in video footage of the Stop the Steal rally earlier the day of the riot. During the rally, according to a criminal complaint, the men went to the Capitol building and “began yelling at the line of officers attempting to clear the area.”
Slater Jr. allegedly yelled “f— you motherf—–” before throwing a flagpole and the “Area Closed” sign toward the line of officers.
All four men “resisted and confronted the police line,” the complaint states, with the two Scotts allegedly pushing into officer’s shields, the younger Scott allegedly wielding a golf club.
At one point, Tighe Scott allegedly “attempted to rip the shield” out of an officer’s hands, but was pushed away and fell backward.
