A Capitol rioter's hearing was delayed hours before he was scheduled to be sentenced after videos surfaced on social media of him allegedly attacking a police officer.
The man in the video is wearing a face mask, a red"Make American Great Again" baseball hat, and a gray hoodie with a blue and black jacket — the same attire Reeder is seen wearing in images included in his criminal complaint. He decided to go because he had “nothing better to do” and believed “that the rally would be an interesting event to attend," it stated.As Reeder got closer to the Capitol, he was hit with tear gas, according to the document. It stated that Reeder walked over to police officers who were standing near an open door at the Capitol and asked for water so he could rinse his eyes out.
“He does not want to be remembered as or considered one of the unlawful or violent protestors that assaulted the Capitol that day," the memorandum said. During his second time in the Capitol, the complaint stated, he filmed a video of an officer being assaulted and then told the officer,"You need to retreat."
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia declined to comment on the videos or Reeder's case.
