Jay Johnston, who was the voice of Jimmy Pesto on 'Bob's Burgers,' was arrested on charges that he joined a mob in confronting police officers during the U.S. Capitol riot, court records show.
He is expected to make his initial court appearance in California on Wednesday. An attorney for Johnston didn't immediately respond to a telephone call and text message seeking comment.
Johnston "was close to the entrance to the tunnel, turned back and signaled for other rioters to come towards the entrance," the agent wrote. Johnston appeared on "Mr. Show with Bob and David," an HBO sketch comedy series that starred Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. His credits also include small parts on the television show "Arrested Development" and in the movie "Anchorman," starring Will Ferrell.
While the mob attacked police in the tunnel with pepper spray and other weapons, Johnston helped other rioters near the tunnel pour water on their faces and then joined in pushing against the line of officers, the FBI says.Three current or former associates of Johnston identified him as a riot suspect from photos that the FBI published online, according to the agent.
