Maryland Police Officer Faces Charges for Involvement in Jan. 6 Capitol Attack
A police officer in Montgomery County, Maryland, named Justin Lee, has been arrested and charged with multiple counts related to his participation in the January 6th Capitol attack, including assaulting law enforcement. Lee, who joined the force a year after the attack, was on leave since July due to an unrelated case where he fatally shot an armed man. The Montgomery County Police Department stated that their background investigation did not uncover any link to the attack, and they are now initiating a comprehensive review of their investigation process. Lee has been suspended without pay and is facing termination.
