A man known for publicly harassing police officers who testified in Jan. 6 cases has been arrested in connection with his own involvement with the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Tommy Tatum, who has also provided trial testimony on behalf of a Jan. 6 defendant, was arrested in Mississippi on Wednesday, according to court records. He is charged with civil disorder by obstructing, impeding, or interfering with law enforcement officers engaged in official duties, a felony, as well as misdemeanor counts.
No attorney for Tatum was listed in the court records.
Tatum had been a frequent presence at vigils outside the jail in Washington, where some Jan. 6 defendants were being held. NBC News has reported that he also harassed officers who were testifying during Capitol attack trials.
Last year, Tatum was a witness for Brian Mock, a Jan. 6 defendant who assaulted police officers and then represented himself at trial. Mock was convicted and sentenced to 33 months in federal prison in February and is incarcerated in Minnesota, according to federal prison records.
Tatum was on the west front of the U.S. Capitol and on the front lines as the pro-Trump mob chased down outnumbered police officers on Jan. 6. He eventually made his way to the lower west tunnel, where some of the worst violence of the day took place.
