A Colorado man who repeatedly bragged on social media about his participation in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has been arrested in connection with a shooting death in Colorado Springs, the Colorado Times Recorder reported on Wednesday.Tim Arvidson "boasted multiple times about taking part in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, posting a photo of himself driving to the event, uploading a video of it as he participated, and later processing what he 'experienced,'" the report reads. "On the way to Washington, D.C., Arvidson posted a selfie with the comment, 'We may stay a while. We’re pissed. This isn’t going to happen! Stop The Steal!'"Despite his repeated conspiracy claims like “The election was stolen, I was an Election Judge in Colorado this current election; the election was stolen; my sworn oath will suffice!" and "Georgia was the same scam as Nov 3rd! Keep fighting, don’t stop, don’t give up! We are now DISENFRANCHISED! Our votes DO NOT COUNT! We are NOT FREE! Fight for your Constitutional rights!” Arvidson went on to hold the position of chair of the Castle Rock Election Commission.This week, according to the report, his life took a darker turn."According to the arrest affidavit, Arvidson approached his neighbor and accused a group of people of selling drugs and having guns," said the report. "After an altercation, Arvidson then allegedly shot 43-year-old Robert Dougher, who later died of his injuries."If Arvidson is convicted, it will be only the latest in a long string of January 6 participants, many of whom received a pardon from President Donald Trump after being convicted of those offenses, to end up back in trouble with the law.Others include Jake Lang, who was charged with contempt of court after his behavior at a bond hearing for an influencer charged with murder; Bryan Betancur, who has been repeatedly accused of stalking and inappropriate touching of women on public transportation; and Andrew Paul Johnson, who received a life sentence for child molestation.
