"Actor from 'Bob's Burgers' and 'Better Call Saul' charged in Jan. 6 Capitol riot"

Jay Johnston, known for his work on the animated sitcom "Bob's Burgers," was arrested in California and charged with felony obstruction of police officers during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Johnston was identified in police body camera footage pushing against officers and aiding other rioters at the Capitol. He was charged on four counts, including civil disorder and entering a restricted building. Johnston's name surfaced in connection with the riot in March 2021 when amateur sleuths said they recognized him in photographs shown in an FBI call for tips on Twitter. Johnston was banned from voicing his recurring character, Jimmy Pesto Sr., on "Bob's Burgers" after the Jan. 6 riot.
