A former U.S. Army soldier who was convicted of manslaughter for fatally shooting a handcuffed cowherd in Iraq has been arrested on charges that he attacked police officers with a baton during the U.S. Capitol riot three years ago. The FBI says 40-year-old Edward Richmond Jr. was wearing a helmet, shoulder pads, goggles and a Louisiana state flag patch on his chest when he assaulted police in a tunnel outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Richmond was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Richmond was 20 when an Army court-martial panel convicted him of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced him to three years in prison for killing an Iraqi civilian in February 2004.
