The son of a New York judge was charged in last week’s riot at the Capitol, accused of stealing a U.S. Capitol Police riot shield and armored vest as he joined the mob that stormed the building to “take back” the country.
Aaron Mostofsky, of Brooklyn, New York, was charged Tuesday with theft of government property, knowingly entering a restricted government building, and disorderly conduct for his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection. He was released on a $100,000 bond.
