Joshua Lee Atwood, known as "LeadPipeGuy" by online "sedition hunters," was identified and arrested by the FBI for assaulting law enforcement officers during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol with the help of facial recognition and a scar above his left eye. Atwood was also involved in an alleged armed robbery and assault in Pennsylvania last year. Videos and body-worn camera footage show Atwood attacking officers and hurling objects at them during the Capitol attack. More than 1,387 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack, with over 984 defendants convicted and more than 859 sentenced. Atwood is among several defendants facing additional charges after their alleged participation in the Capitol attack.
