Jay Johnston, an actor and comedian known for his roles in “Mr. Show,' 'Better Call Saul,” “Arrested Development” and “Bob’s Burgers,” has been arrested and charged with felony civil disorder for taking part in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Johnston “participated with other rioters in a group assault on the officers” guarding that entrance, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit.

He also encouraged others to join the fray, according to the FBI, helping rioters wash chemical spray out of their eyes and passing a stolen police riot shield back to others in the mob.Afterward, according to prosecutors, Johnston texted someone to say he was at the Capitol: “The news has presented it as an attack. It actually wasn’t. Thought it kind of turned into that. It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic.
