Macomb County man charged with assaulting officers with dangerous weapon during Jan. 6 insurrection at US Capitol

ROMEO, Mich. – Another Michigan man has been arrested after officials said he took part in the insurrection on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol.

Timothy Levon Boughner, 41, of Romeo, is facing nine different charges including assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon.

The FBI had multiple pictures of a man they say is Boughner at the riot, including pictures of tattoos that match the tattoos he has.

Boughner is being held without bond.
