Peter G. Moloney, co-owner of Moloney Family Funeral Homes, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly spraying cops with insecticide and attacking members of the media during the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, according to federal prosecutors in DC. Moloney was one of the early members of rioters that gathered at West Plaza of the Capitol, and when police officers used barricades to try to keep the rioters out, Moloney donned a helmet, protective glasses, gloves and a face covering.

Court papers allege that Moloney brought a can of Black Flag Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Killer and sprayed it in the direction of officers’ faces and bodies more than one time during the melee. He also joined a group of agitators in surrounding and attacking members of the media by yanking one reporter’s camera, causing him to stumble down stairs, and punching and shoving other members of the press.

Photos and footage from the day, which were included in court papers, show Moloney present during the siege and carrying out the various alleged crimes. The fact that Moloney was equipped with a helmet and insecticide shows that “he went to the capitol on January 2, 2021 prepared for violence,” court papers claim.

Moloney’s case will be prosecuted in DC, but he appeared in Central Islip federal court on Wednesday where Magistrate Judge Steven Locke allowed Moloney to be released on $100,000 bond. His lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
