A man connected to the Proud Boys has been arrested after he was accused of pepper-spraying officers at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and making a threatening call to an FBI agent. Barry Bennett Ramey was arrested on Thursday after an FBI affidavit filed Wednesday said that Special Agent Ryan Nougaret received a threatening call from Ramey while he was under investigation in connection with the Jan. 6 attack. “Is this Mr. Nougaret? And you still live at [your affiant’s home address],” the caller, whom the FBI believes was Ramey, allegedly said. The agent then received a text message from the same number with a VIN number for a vehicle previously owned by the agent. “Check that VIN number.;),” Ramey said in another text, the affidavit alleged. Ramey now faces charges including assault on federal law enforcement officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon, obstructing law enforcement, entering or remaining on restricted grounds with intent to impede, knowingly engaging in an act of physical violence while using or carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon and an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds, according to NBC News, which cited court records.
