According to WRTV, retired NASCAR driver Tighe Scott and his son Jarret Scott from Pen Argyle, Pennsylvania faced a serious legal setback as they were arrested alongside two other individuals for their alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The duo along with Scott Alex Slater Jr. and Scott Slater Sr. now face a host of charges including two felony offenses each stemming from their alleged assaults on law enforcement during the chaotic events. Reports from the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office revealed that Tighe Scott 75 and his son Jarret Scott 48 are accused of engaging in physical altercations with police officers outside the Capitol building. The charges include felonies as well as multiple misdemeanors highlighting the severity of their alleged actions amidst the pro-Trump mob.

The FBI utilized witness testimonies to confirm Tighe Scott‘s identity drawing attention to his past as a notable figure in the NASCAR community. Despite not clinching any wins during his NASCAR career Tighe Scott had a respectable track record with numerous top-10 finishes and notable appearances at prestigious races like the Daytona 500 where he secured a commendable sixth place finish in 1979. The charging documents paint a grim picture of the events, detailing how the Scotts and their cohorts allegedly verbally and physically assaulted law enforcement officers using various objects such as flagpoles, golf clubs, and even an “Area Closed” sign. These actions were purportedly aimed at breaching the line of defense put up by the police to protect the Capitol from the unruly mob.
