Court documents include images agents said depict Brockhoff brandishing and spraying a fire extinguisher on the grounds outside the Capitol rotunda. His use of the extinguisher resulted in an assault on officers causing their dispersion and impeding their efforts to control the crowd, according to an affidavit.
The agents’ report compiled photographs from Capitol surveillance cameras, social media and other sources to allege Brockhoff discharged the contents of the fire extinguisher, hitting two police officers and creating a cloud that impeded multiple other officers’ vision while attempting crowd-control.
Brockhoff was expected to appear in federal court Thursday.
