Former Marine Charged in Riots Hurled 'Sharpened Pole' at Capitol Police: Feds
A former Marine charged with assaulting police officers during the Capitol riots with a hockey stick also launched a massive, “sharpened pole” at cops during his attack, authorities revealed.
Michael Joseph Foy, a 30-year-old from Westland, Michigan, was charged Friday with several crimes, including obstruction of law enforcement and forcibly assaulting an officer, after striking cops with a hockey stick “at least 10 times” during the Jan. 6 riots. In a detention memo filed Sunday evening, federal prosecutors also revealed that at one point during the melee, Foy “threw what appears to be a sharpened pole at the officers.”
“Foy’s actions on January 6 were among the most violent of all participants,” prosecutors state in a 15-page detention memo arguing for Foy to be held as he awaits trial. “Foy is both a danger to the community and poses a risk of nonappearance.”
During a Monday hearing, a federal magistrate judge ordered Foy, who served 5 years in the Marine Corps and is trained in combat, to remain behind bars after prosecutors played footage of his violent attack for the court. Foy's court-appointed attorney argued that his client has had a hard time adjusting to civilian life after he was discharged from duty.
