A retired NASCAR driver and his son were arrested Wednesday and charged along with two other Pennsylvania men for allegedly assaulting police during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Tighe Scott, 75, and his son Jarret Scott, 48, face two felony offenses each as well as a multiple misdemeanor offenses for a series of alleged assaults prosecutors say they engaged in outside the Capitol among the pro-Trump mob.
Charging documents show the FBI confirmed Tighe Scott’s identity in part because a witness told agents he was a retired NASCAR driver.
Scott competed in dirt racing events before moving into the NASCAR Winston Cup Series in the late 1970s and early 1980s. While he recorded no career wins in NASCAR, he had multiple top-10 finishes and made several appearances at the Daytona 500, including a sixth place finish in 1979.
The two Scotts were arrested along with another Pennsylvania father and son, Scott Alex Slater Jr. and Scott Slater Sr., all of whom prosecutors say physically and verbally harassed law enforcement trying to protect the Capitol — using a variety of objects like flagpoles, golf clubs and an “Area Closed” sign to throw or strike against a line of police trying to control the mob.
The four men were seen in video footage of the Stop the Steal rally earlier the day of the riot. During the rally, according to a criminal complaint, the men went to the Capitol building and “began yelling at the line of officers attempting to clear the area.”
Slater Jr. allegedly yelled “f— you motherf—–” before throwing a flagpole and the “Area Closed” sign toward the line of officers.
All four men “resisted and confronted the police line,” the complaint states, with the two Scotts allegedly pushing into officer’s shields, the younger Scott allegedly wielding a golf club.
At one point, Tighe Scott allegedly “attempted to rip the shield” out of an officer’s hands, but was pushed away and fell backward. Jarrett Scott was knocked backward by his father falling, the complaint states, and allegedly jeered at officers, directing several profanities at them.
None of the men currently have attorneys listed. They were set to make their initial appearances in federal court in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
More than 1,424 people had been arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 riot as of May 6 — about 820 of whom have pleaded guilty, according to the Justice Department.

Good.
Morons that attempted a coup on the word of an egotistical lifelong liar deserve to pay consequences for stupidity.
Germanshith, You have a world-class case of T-D-S, one of the worst ever documented. Suggestion; why don’t you crawl into your always yapping, throat-yogurt spewing pie-hole and suffocate yourself?
Ah HitleriteGermanSmith, Good Trump isn’t the only one being abused by evil corrupt Democrat judges, it’s happening to thousands of us… may require Civil War II to put a stop to it…
You know Trump called for the National Guard, but Nancy Pelosi was the one that had to do it and refused. Her daughter was there from the jump to film it. The FBI, CIA, etc were working for the pedocrats. Who do you think hired John Sullivan and friends to agitate and change clothes to look like Trump supporters. You pedocrats don’t care about this country, our flag, the constitution, or anything. All that matters is pedocrats bc birds of a feather. Biden and Hunter are pedos and the entire family had taken millions from China. Treason!!!!
Trump, never called the National Guard, instead he was watching it going down in his office. As a matter of fact, he wanted to join them. As a matter of fact, the president’s speech I had seen live on F ox while it was going on. It was their exclusive that afternoon. I had seen it only because we used to get updated news reports, and they were showing live what was happening that afternoon. I saw it from beginning to end.
We keep on seeing arrests of the J6
supporters of President Trump;
why do we never see arrests of the
thugs who burned and destroyed the
cities after the death of a man who was
a drug addict; who would still be alive
if he had stayed in the police car after
he was arrested! I think cameras were
available at all of these tragic destructions
of properties and lives; so why not use
the films and start arresting these vicious
people??

Never ever vote for another Democrat… ever…

God bless you and your list. So many have their heads up their collective arses to NOT see any of this. Sadly, my sister is one of them who think Trump is the devil. 99% of my family are pro-Trump. Today I had a doctors appointment and I wore my “gear” with pride!! Stay safe, my friend and keep spreading the word.
I just copied your comment to my computer and will print and send to a few friends of mine. Thank you again.
Isn’t it amazing how they can “identify” all of these people but can’t find a single thing to arrest Ray Epps on?? I also watched the video of the “lone gunman” on the tower on that day. He climbed up the tower, fired a shot, and a couple of minutes later the cops opened up on the crowd. Tell me again, how they supposedly found this guy and let him go again? Too many things just don’t make a whole lotta sense unless you’re trying to crucify a Trump supporter. There’s videos of Piglosi’s son right next to the Shaman in the crowd and he’s not doing jail time. Her daughter was INSIDE the capitol filming the sham “cowering” of Piglosi and Shumer…crickets!
