Capitol riot suspect arrested near Obama home indicted on firearms charges

A Capitol riot suspect who had guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his van when he was arrested near former president Barack Obama’s Washington home has been indicted on federal firearms charges, authorities have said.
Taylor Taranto, 37, was already facing misdemeanour charges stemming from his alleged involvement in the January 6 2021 riot, and a grand jury indicted him on additional felony charges alleging he illegally carried a firearm without a licence and unlawfully possessed a large-capacity ammunition feeding device, prosecutors said.
