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.
