A Capitol rioter from Michigan who was captured on video attacking police on Jan. 6 was arrested after the FBI confirmed his identity with a profane tattoo on his middle finger, HuffPost reports.
Justin Jersey was No. 106 on the FBI’s Capitol wanted page and known to online “Sedition Hunters” as #Fingerman. He was charged by indictment for his participation in the Capitol riot.
From HuffPost:
Jersey was friends with another Capitol riot defendant, Trevor Brown, and Jersey’s girlfriend publicly tagged the two men in a post about Jan. 6 on Facebook. Online sleuths found an Instagram image of Jersey that showed what appeared to be a “F*** YOU” tattoo on his left middle finger — which can also be spotted in images of him swinging a stick at officers — erasing any doubt about the identification.
The Michigan sweatshirt really narrowed the scope though. pic.twitter.com/z8oI0N3aCw
