A leader of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group was arrested Tuesday on a conspiracy charge for his suspected role in the co-ordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio wasn’t there when the riot erupted on Jan. 6, 2021.

The day before the Capitol was attacked, a judge ordered Tarrio to stay out of Washington.
