According to an FBI agent assigned to the case, Judd was wearing a "Make America Great Again" baseball cap backwards and was captured on numerous videos pushing his way into a tunnel at the Capitol's Lower West Terrace doors.
Judd was heard yelling "shield wall" as he encouraged others to entire the building, the FBI said. He lit a firecracker and threw it at a line of officers guarding the doors.
Judd is the 20th person arrested by the FBI’s Dallas office, which covers the northern half of Texas.
