A Bayport man pleaded guilty to assaulting several Capitol police officers during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Peter Moloney, former co-owner of Moloney's Family Funeral Homes, was accused of spraying insecticide on the bodies and heads of Capitol officers. He also allegedly brought protective eyewear, hard-knuckled gloves, a face mask and a helmet to the riots in Washington D.C.
Moloney also pleaded guilty to assaulting two people that he thought were members of the media. On one occasion, he walked up behind a victim whose back was turned and holding a camera. Moloney then swung his arm down onto the victim’s hand, grabbed the camera and attempted to pull the camera out of the victim’s hands. This caused the victim to stumble on a flight of stairs.
He is expected to be sentenced in February.
